32 So they put sackcloth around their waists and ropes on their heads and went to the king of Israel. They said, |Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live!'| Ahab replied, |Is he still alive? He is my brother.| 33 The men took this as a good omen and quickly accepted his offer, saying, |Ben Hadad is your brother.| Ahab then said, |Go, get him.| So Ben Hadad came out to him, and Ahab pulled him up into his chariot. 34 Ben Hadad said, |I will return the cities my father took from your father. You may set up markets in Damascus, just as my father did in Samaria.| Ahab then said, |I want to make a treaty with you before I dismiss you.| So he made a treaty with him and then dismissed him. 1 Kings 20:32-34, New English Translation.
