Ben-Hadad, not content with Ahab's homage, besieges Samaria |
By the direction of a prophet, the Syrians are slain |
As the prophet forewarned Ahab, the Syrians come against him in Aphek |
By the word of the prophet, and God's judgment, the Syrians are smitten again |
The Syrians submit; Ahab sends Ben-Hadad away with a covenant |
The prophet, under the parable of a prisoner, |
making Ahab judge himself, denounces God's judgment against him |
