1 Kings 20

Ben-Hadad king of Aram besieges Samaria, demanding Ahab's wealth, wives, and children; Ahab resists the full demand, leading to an initial victory by YHWH through the young leaders of the provinces who rout the Arameans[1][2]. The Syrians attribute defeat to hill gods and attack on the plain, but YHWH grants Israel another victory to prove His sovereignty; Ahab spares Ben-Hadad against prophetic command, earning divine judgment of his life for Ben-Hadad's[1][2].
