  • 1 Kgs 15:18-20 : 18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace and placed them into the hands of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, with this message: 19 Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me. 20 Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinneroth, as well as all the land of Naphtali.
  • Amos 1:3-5 : 3 Thus says the LORD: 'For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke punishment, because they threshed Gilead with sharp implements of iron.' 4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael, and it will consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad. 5 I will break the bars of Damascus, cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and the one who holds the scepter from Beth-Eden; the people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,' says the LORD.
  • 1 Kgs 20:1-9 : 1 Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram, gathered his entire army along with thirty-two kings, horses, and chariots. He marched up, laid siege to Samaria, and attacked it. 2 He sent messengers to Ahab, king of Israel, in the city, 3 saying, 'This is what Ben-Hadad says: Your silver and gold are mine, and so are the best of your wives and children.' 4 The king of Israel answered, 'As you say, my lord the king. I and all that I have are yours.' 5 But the messengers came back and said, 'This is what Ben-Hadad says: I sent to demand your silver, gold, wives, and children. You must give them to me.' 6 'About this time tomorrow, I will send my officials to search your palace and the houses of your officials. They will take whatever you value and carry it off.' 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, 'See how this man is seeking trouble! He sent for my wives, my sons, my silver, and my gold, and I did not refuse him.' 8 The elders and all the people said to him, 'Do not listen to or agree to his demands.' 9 So he replied to Ben-Hadad's messengers, 'Tell my lord the king: I will do what you originally demanded of me, but this I cannot do.' The messengers left and reported back to Ben-Hadad. 10 Then Ben-Hadad sent another message: 'May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for even a handful for each of the people who follow me.' 11 The king of Israel replied, 'Tell him: One who arms himself for battle should not boast as if he is already victorious.' 12 When Ben-Hadad heard this reply while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, he commanded his officials, 'Prepare to attack,' and they prepared to attack the city. 13 Meanwhile, a prophet approached Ahab, king of Israel, and said, 'This is what the LORD says: Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and you will know that I am the LORD.' 14 Then Ahab asked, 'By whom will this be accomplished?' The prophet replied, 'This is what the LORD says: By the young men of the provincial leaders.' Ahab further asked, 'Who will start the battle?' The prophet answered, 'You will.' 15 So Ahab mustered the young men of the provincial leaders, and there were two hundred thirty-two of them. After them, he assembled all the people of Israel—seven thousand in total. 16 They marched out at noon, while Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings allied with him were drinking themselves drunk in their tents. 17 The young men of the provincial leaders went out first, and Ben-Hadad sent scouts who reported to him, 'Men have come out from Samaria.' 18 He said, 'If they have come out for peace, capture them alive; and if they have come out for war, capture them alive.' 19 The young men of the provincial leaders marched out of the city, followed by the army. 20 Each man struck down his opponent, and the Arameans fled with Israel pursuing them. Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, escaped on horseback along with some cavalry. 21 The king of Israel went out and struck down the horses and chariots, and he inflicted a great defeat on the Arameans. 22 Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, 'Strengthen your position and see what you must do, because next spring the king of Aram will come up against you again.'
  • 2 Kgs 13:3 : 3 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He handed them over to Hazael, king of Aram, and to Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, for all their days.
