Context
9Kwa hiyo akawajibu wajumbe wa Ben-Hadadi, “Mwambieni bwana wangu mfalme, ‘Mtumishi wako atafanya yote uliyoyadai mwanzoni, lakini dai hili la sasa siwezi kulitekeleza.’ ” Wakaondoka na kupeleka jibu kwa Ben-Hadadi. 10Kisha Ben-Hadadi akatuma ujumbe mwingine kwa Ahabu, kusema “Miungu iniletee maafa, tena makubwa zaidi, ikiwa vumbi la Samaria litatosheleza konzi moja ya kila mtu ya wale wafuatanao nami.” 11Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Mwambieni, ‘Yule anayevaa mavazi ya vita asije akajisifu kama yule anayevua.’ ” 12Ben-Hadadi alisikia ujumbe huu wakati ambapo yeye na wafalme walikuwa wanakunywa katika mahema yao, na akawaamuru watu wake, “Jiandaeni kushambulia.” Kwa hiyo wakajiandaa kuushambulia mji. 13Wakati ule ule nabii akamjia Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli na kutangaza, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Je, unaona jeshi hili kubwa? Nitalitia mkononi mwako leo, nawe ndipo utajua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana.’ ”
