1 King 20:1-15
Ben-Hadad was boasted to ask Ahab "Your silver and gold are mine and the best of your wives and children are mine." Ahab did not refused him. But Ben-Hadad requested second time included send his officials to search his palace and houses of his officials, they will seize everything value and carry it away. Ahab refused Ben-Hadad this time.
Be-Hadad even said "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful." Ahab answered "One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off."
Ben-Hadad prepared to attach Israel, meanwhile a prophet came to Ahab and announced,"This is what the Lord says, 'Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and then you will know that I am the Lord.' "
And the prophet said to Ahab he has to start the battle, and the young offers of the provincial commanders will do it."
Why?
Ahab was not walked on the way of God, but Ben-Hadad was too proud so the Lord helped Ahab, let he know that I am the Lord.
The Lord is mercy to his people, for the Lord hope Ahab knows that the Lord still is the God of Israel.
Battle is not rely on the number of army or horses, but reply on the Load Almighty.
The instructions of the Load is clearly and let us know how to do it
How?
Praise to the Lord, my help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
