Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
Tu plata y tu oro me pertenecen; tus esposas e hijos, aun los mejores de ellos, son míos.
El rey enemigo reclama total posesión sobre las riquezas y la familia de otro rey.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 9th century BC, during the reign of King Ahab of Israel, the Aramean king Ben-Hadad II sent a threatening message demanding tribute as part of his campaign to expand his empire. This verse reflects the aggressive military posturing and imperial demands common in ancient Near Eastern conflicts, where powerful rulers like Ben-Hadad sought to dominate weaker neighbors through intimidation. The demand highlighted the vulnerability of Israel at a time when internal idolatry and weak leadership under Ahab made the nation susceptible to external threats.
