Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

This glorious victory, won so easily, and with such a paltry force opposed to overwhelming numbers, was granted that Ahab and his people might know (1Ki 20:13) that God is the Lord. But we do not read of this acknowledgment being made, or of any sacrifices being offered in token of their national gratitude.

Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him - The Septuagint has a better reading: “they sent and told the king of Syria.”
