## 1 Kings 20:24-27 in Context (Verses 21–30 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/21) And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/22) ¶ And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/23) And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods *are* gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/24) And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/25) And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, *and* surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/26) And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/27) And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/28) ¶ And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD *is* God of the hills, but he *is* not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I *am* the LORD.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/29) And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And *so* it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-kings/20/30) But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and *there* a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men *that were* left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.*
