1 KINGS 20:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“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.”

And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD — A prophet brings God's message to Ahab: divine victory is assured. The phrase shows God's sovereign intervention on behalf of His people despite the king's apostasy. Victory will demonstrate God's reality to Ahab.
