Thy servant Ben-hadad. Only a short time before it was Ahab who had been the servant and Benhadad the lord (v. 20). Boastful Benhadad was no longer boasting, and had good reason to ponder Ahab’s message of the season before, “Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off” (v. 11).
