And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city — Ben-hadad's confidence is shaken by Ahab's defiant response. The phrase shows the Aramean king and his coalition preparing for battle while drinking—perhaps suggesting overconfidence or distraction.
