Old Testament/Stories of Solomon and the kings and prophets who followed him.I Kings 20:23ff

And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than us; but let us fight against them on the plains, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And do this thing, Take the kings away, and put captains in their place: And gather an army like the army that you lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he listened unto their voice, and did so. And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.

And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like ______ small flocks of _______; but the Syrians filled the country.

And there came a man of God, and he spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, This is what the Lord says, Because the Arameans have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD. And they camped opposite each other for seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle took place: and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans, a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
