3‘Fedha yako na dhahabu ni yangu, nao wake zako walio wazuri sana na watoto ni wangu.’ ” 4Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Iwe kama usemavyo, bwana wangu mfalme. Mimi na vyote nilivyo navyo ni mali yako.” 5Wale wajumbe wakaja tena na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi: ‘Nimetuma kutaka fedha yako na dhahabu, wake zako na watoto wako. 6Lakini kesho wakati kama huu, nitawatuma maafisa wangu kukagua jumba lako la kifalme na nyumba za maafisa wako. Watatwaa kitu unachokithamini nao watakichukua.’ ” 7Mfalme wa Israeli akawaita wazee wote wa nchi na akawaambia, “Tazama jinsi mtu huyu anavyochokoza! Wakati alipotuma apelekewe wake zangu na watoto wangu, fedha zangu na dhahabu yangu, sikumkatalia.”
