Theological / Devotional

The dust of Samaria. The words of Benhadad involve a threat of utter destruction and a boast of irresistible strength. The expression seems to mean that so numerous are the people who follow the Syrian king, there is insufficient dust in Samaria to fill the hands of the soldiers.
