And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
Los siervos del rey de Siria le dijeron: 'Sus dioses son dioses de los montes, por eso nos vencieron allí. Pero si peleamos contra ellos en tierra plana, seguramente seremos más fuertes que ellos.'
Los consejeros sirios creyeron erróneamente que podían vencer a Israel cambiando el lugar de la batalla.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 9th century BC, during the reign of King Ahab of Israel, there was a series of battles against the Syrian king Ben-Hadad, as described in the Books of Kings. The Syrians attributed their previous defeats to the belief that the God of Israel was powerful only in the hilly regions, reflecting the common ancient Near Eastern view that gods were tied to specific territories. This advice from the Syrian servants underscores the polytheistic mindset of the time, where divine power was thought to be geographically limited.
