Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.

He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.

Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the most comely, are mine.

and saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons, the best, are mine.'

And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine.

Thy silver and thy gold is mine,.... Not of right, but reckoning it as good as in his hands, Ahab not being able to resist him:
and thy wives also; for it seems he had more than Jezebel:
and thy children; which were many, for he had no less than seventy sons, 2-Kings 10:1,
even the goodliest are mine: some aggravate this, as if his view was to commit the unnatural sin with his male children, when in his possession.

Thy silver, &c. - I challenge them as my own, and expect to have them forthwith delivered, if thou expect peace with me.
