Verse 4
1Ki 20:4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I [am] thine, and all that I have.

Others hold that he did well and wisely, whilst, as a reed in a tempest, he thus stoopeth to the violent charge of so potent an enemy. It is not for the overpowered to capitulate; weakness may not argue, but yield.
