Context
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.” 8Wazee na watu wote wakajibu, “Usimsikilize, wala usiyakubali matakwa yake.” 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.”
