15 Therefore, he took a count of the servants of the leaders of the provinces. And he found the number to be two hundred thirty-two. And he set them in order after the people, all the sons of Israel, who were seven thousand.
16 And they went out at midday. But Benhadad was drinking; he was inebriated in his pavilion, and the thirty-two kings with him, who had arrived in order to assist him.
17 Then the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out to the first place, at the front. And so, Benhadad sent, and they reported to him, saying: 'Men have gone out from Samaria.'
18 And he said: 'If they have arrived for peace, apprehend them alive; if to do battle, capture them alive.'
19 Therefore, the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out, and the remainder of the army was following.
