And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Ben-adad le dijo: 'Devolveré las ciudades que mi padre tomó de tu padre, y podrás establecer mercados para ti en Damasco, así como mi padre hizo en Samaria.' Entonces Acab dijo: 'Te dejaré ir libre basado en este acuerdo.' Así que hizo un pacto con él y lo dejó ir.
Ben-adad ofreció devolver ciudades y dar privilegios comerciales a Acab, quien aceptó el acuerdo y lo liberó.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 1 Kings, King Ahab of Israel had just defeated the Aramean king Ben-Hadad in a series of battles, as God had promised victory through His prophets. Ben-Hadad, seeking to avoid further defeat, proposed a peace treaty that included returning cities his father had taken from Ahab's father and granting Ahab trading rights in Damascus, similar to what Aram had in Samaria. This event highlights the common ancient Near Eastern practice of forging alliances through covenants to secure temporary peace amid ongoing regional conflicts.
