Bullying is horrible, but it’s even worse when the bully is a leader in power.
In our chapter from 1 Kings 20 we will see some big bullies doing some big bullying.
It starts with King Ben-hadad who rules in Aram, which is north of Israel’s border.
In verse 1, we read that he, “mobilized his army, supported by the chariots and horses of thirty-two allied kings. They went to besiege Samaria, the capital of Israel, and launched attacks against it.”
This king has come down to bully Israel, as he says, verse 3, “Your silver and gold are mine, and so are your wives and the best of your children!”
