And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Kings. The prophet warns Ahab that Ben-hadad will return the following year. The Syrians interpret their previous defeat as resulting from Israel having gods of the mountains but not of the plains, yet the Lord again grants Israel victory to demonstrate that his power is not geographically limited. Afterwards Ahab spares Ben-hadad and makes a covenant with him. The problem is that the king treats as an ally someone whom God had delivered to judgment.

Und es trat der Mann Gottes herzu und sprach zum König Israels: So spricht der HERR: Darum daß die Syrer haben gesagt, der HERR sei ein Gott der Berge und nicht ein Gott der Gründe, so habe ich all diesen großen Haufen in deine Hand gegeben, daß ihr wisset, ich sei der HERR.
Llegándose entonces el varón de Dios al rey de Israel, hablole diciendo: Así dijo Jehová: Por cuanto los Siros han dicho, Jehová es Dios de los montes, no Dios de los valles, yo entregaré toda esta grande multitud en tu mano, para que conozcáis que yo soy Jehová.
El hombre de Dios se acercó al rey de Israel y le dijo: «Así dice Jehová: “Porque los arameos han dicho: ‘Jehová es Dios de los montes y no Dios de los valles’, entregaré toda esta gran multitud en tus manos y ustedes sabrán que yo soy Jehová”».
L'homme de Dieu s'approcha, et dit au roi d'Israël: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Parce que les Syriens ont dit: L'Eternel est un dieu des montagnes et non un dieu des vallées, je livrerai toute cette grande multitude entre tes mains, et vous saurez que je suis l'Eternel.
Allora l’uomo di Dio si accostò al re d’Israele, e gli disse: Così ha detto il Signore: Perciocchè i Siri hanno detto: Il Signore è Dio de’ monti, e non è Dio delle valli, io ti darò nelle mani tutta questa gran moltitudine, e voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore.
E chegou o homem de Deus, e falou ao rei de Israel, e disse: Assim diz o SENHOR: Porquanto os sírios disseram: O SENHOR é Deus dos montes, e não Deus dos vales; toda esta grande multidão entregarei nas tuas mãos; para que saibas que eu sou o SENHOR.
有神人靠近,對 以色列 王說:「耶和華如此說:『 亞蘭 人既說我-耶和華是山神,不是平原之神,我必將這一大群人全都交在你手中,你們就知道我是耶和華。』」
