Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

Verse 33 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 die Männer nahmen eilend das Wort von ihm und deuteten's für sich und sprachen: Ja dein Bruder Benhadad. Er sprach: Kommt und bringt ihn! Da ging Benhadad zu ihm heraus. Und er ließ ihn auf dem Wagen sitzen.
Esto tomaron aquellos hombres por buen agüero, y presto tomaron esta palabra de su boca, y dijeron: ¡Tu hermano Ben-adad! Y él dijo: Id, y traedle. Ben-adad entonces se presentó a Achâb, y él le hizo subir en un carro.
Los hombres, que aguardaban una buena señal, se apresuraron a tomarle la palabra y dijeron: «¡Tu hermano Ben-adad!». Él respondió: «Vayan a traerlo». Ben-adad salió a su encuentro y Acab lo hizo subir al carro.
Ces hommes tirèrent de là un bon augure, et ils se hâtèrent de le prendre au mot et de dire: Ben-Hadad est ton frère! Et il dit: Allez, amenez-le. Ben-Hadad vint vers lui, et Achab le fit monter sur son char.
E quegli uomini presero di ciò buon augurio; e prestamente gli trassero di bocca ciò che si poteva sperar da lui; e gli dissero: È Ben-hadad tuo fratello? Ed egli disse: Andate, e menatelo qua. Ben-hadad adunque venne fuori ad Achab; ed egli lo fece salire sopra il suo carro.
E aqueles homens tomaram isto por bom presságio, e apressaram-se em apanhar a sua palavra, e disseram: Teu irmão Ben-Hadade vive. E ele disse: Vinde, trazei-mo. Então Ben-Hadade foi a ele, e ele o fez subir ao carro.
