Verse 3 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Kings. Ben-hadad of Syria demands Ahab’s wealth and later threatens to search his house and the houses of his servants. Ahab initially yields, but the elders and people advise him not to accept the second demand. The crisis shows Ahab acting with political weakness, while an unnamed prophet announces that God will deliver the Syrian army so that Israel may know who the Lord is.

und ließ ihm sagen: So spricht Benhadad: Dein Silber und dein Gold ist mein, und deine Weiber und deine besten Kinder sind auch mein.
Así ha dicho Ben-adad: Tu plata y tu oro es mío, y tus mujeres y tus hijos hermosos son míos.
Le dijo: «Así dice Ben-adad: Tu plata y tu oro son míos; también tus esposas y tus mejores hijos son míos».
Ton argent et ton or sont à moi, tes femmes et tes plus beaux enfants sont à moi.
Così dice Ben-hadad: Il tuo argento ed il tuo oro è mio; mie sono ancora le tue mogli ed i tuoi bei figliuoli.
Que lhe disseram: Assim diz Ben-Hadade: A tua prata e o teu ouro são meus; e tuas mulheres e os melhores de teus filhos são meus.
『你的金銀都要歸我,你妻妾兒女中最美的也要歸我。』」
