The people of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Syrians filled the country. 28 And a (C)man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because the Syrians have said, (D)“The Lord is a god of the hills but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore (E)I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’”
