Afterwards he counted the remainder of the people who would join the battle and they had a total of seven thousand.
- The soldiers leave the city for battle while Ben-Haddad is drunk: The soldiers of Achav went out at noon to fight the battle and at that time Ben-Haddad and the thirty-two kings were drinking themselves drunk in the huts that they made for shade. The children of the governors of the provinces were the first to lead the line of battle. Ben-Haddad was then informed by messenger that they were men who had left the city of Shomron. Ben-Haddad replied that the individual should be seized alive whether they have come for peaceful purposes and whether they have come for war.
- The initial battle is won: The children of the governors of the provinces came out of the city, together with an army leading after them.
