2 Kings 6:8

²⁴After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

¹⁸Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!

³⁰There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

¹⁰Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”

⁵Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying, ⁶“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.” ⁷This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”

¹²He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands can’t perform their enterprise. ¹³He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

³¹Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”

²³The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

¹Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.

³⁴Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
