15Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16They went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out from Samaria.
18He said, Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they are come out for war, taken them alive.
19So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20They killed everyone his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
