Ben-hadad of Aram besieges Samaria with a great coalition, but the LORD, to show that He is God, gives Ahab an improbable victory, and again defeats the Arameans in the plains. Yet when Ahab makes a treaty and spares the defeated Ben-hadad, a prophet condemns him for releasing the man God had devoted to destruction, declaring that Ahab’s life will answer for it.
