1 Kings 20

The compact form of the proverb of verse 11 in Hebrew cannot be imitated in English.

Where was Aram put under the ban? Nowhere. There is no chapter in the Bible where the word חרם is used with respect to Aram (Syria).

Ahab has acted in his own interests, and he was taken in by a repentance of convenience. On verse 42, NIV explain that their translation that Benhadad must die is interpreting a word that indicates such an action. But the word for die is not in the text. Perhaps the prophet thinks that Benhadad should be devoted to Yahweh (which he clearly is not). Ahab is taken in his own compromise.

Note that here we learn that to strike נכה (trad. smite) is not necessarily to kill.

Let us bear, if you will, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will let you live.	3e	4B	27 36
