Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again — Ahab refuses Ben-hadad's escalated demands, showing unexpected resolve. The phrase shows him willing to fight rather than permit the king's representatives to plunder royal treasures.
