21 Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.

The Syrians Again Defeated

23 Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.

24 So do this thing: Dismiss the kings, each from his position, and put captains in their¹ places;

25 and you shall muster an army like the army¹ that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than they.” And he listened to their voice and did so.
