1. Ben-hadad the king of Syria —This monarch was the son of that Ben-hadad who, in the reign of Baasha, made a raid on the northern towns of Galilee ( :- ). The thirty-two kings that were confederate with him were probably tributary princes. The ancient kings of Syria and Phoelignicia ruled only over a single city, and were independent of each other, except when one great city, as Damascus, acquired the ascendency, and even then they were allied only in time of war. The Syrian army encamped at the gates and besieged the town of Samaria. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
