← 1 Kings 20:8	1 Kings 20:9 (KJV)	1 Kings 20:10 →
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not [unto him], nor consent.	Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.	And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
