And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king; I am thine, and all that I have.
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and (put) ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
