1 KINGS 20:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben–hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben–hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.”
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go — Ben-hadad offers to return conquered cities and grant Ahab commercial privileges in Damascus. The phrase shows Ahab accepting these terms and releasing Ben-hadad as an ally. The formation of a covenant relationship marks the resolution of hostilities.
