1 KINGS 20:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben–hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.”
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive — Ben-hadad orders his commanders to capture the Israeli forces alive rather than kill them. The phrase shows his confidence in his army's superiority and his desire to take prisoners.
