1 KINGS 15:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So Ben–hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel–beth–maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.”
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali — Ben-hadad's intervention proves militarily effective: Aramean forces attack northern Israelite cities. The phrase וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ (he sent the captains of his armies) shows the mobilization of military resources in response to Asa's payment.
