In the book of 1 Kings, chapter 20, the king of Syria Ben-hadad gathered a great army together. He surrounded Israel and ordered Ahab to hand over all of his gold and silver, as well as women and children, all for him to take.
Ahab consulted with his elders, whom advised him not to listen to the Syrian king. He sent a message to Ben-hadad, informing him of their decision. The Syrian king was not happy. If it was war they wanted, it was war they'd get.
In the meantime, a prophet of the Lord presented himself to Ahab. He advised him of the Lord's plan to defeat Syria. Twice, Syria was defeated by Ahab, who had the incredible, awesome wisdom of God on his side.
