1 Kings 20 13-1 Kings 20 21
Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said,“ Yahweh says,‘ Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’”Ahab said,“ By whom?” He said,“ Yahweh says,‘ By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said,“ Who shall begin the battle?” He answered,“ You.”Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty- two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty- two kings who helped him.The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying,“ Men are coming out from Samaria.”He said,“ If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.

1 Kings 20 28-1 Kings 20 30
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said,“ Yahweh says,‘ Because the Syrians have said,“ Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys;” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.’”They encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty- seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.

So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 13 5-2 Chronicles 13 16
Ought you not to know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.“ Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.Haven’t you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.“ But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;and they burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lamp stand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God, but you have forsaken him.Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
