Ben 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.

For the head of Syria is DAMASCUS, and the head of DAMASCUS is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;

23. Of DAMASCUS:"Hamath is confounded, and Arpad;for they have heard evil news.They have melted away.There is sorrow on the sea.It can't be quiet.

24. DAMASCUS has grown feeble,she turns herself to flee,and trembling has seized her.Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,as of a woman in travail.

25. How is the city of praise not forsaken,the city of my joy?

26. Therefore her young men will fall in her streets,and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,"says the LORD of Hosts.

27. "I will kindle a fire in the wall of DAMASCUS,and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad."

28. Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. the LORD says:"Arise, go up to Kedar,and destroy the children of the east.

29. They will take their tents and their flocks.they will carry away for themselves their curtains,all their vessels, and their camels;and they will cry to them, 'Terror on every side!'

16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of DAMASCUS and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

17. The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of DAMASCUS; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
