1 KINGS 20:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.”
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day — After seven days of encampment, battle erupts on the seventh day. The phrase shows Israel achieving a staggering victory: 100,000 Aramean foot soldiers fall in a single day. The seventh day carries covenant significance—showing God's power manifested at the covenant number.
