Ephrem the Syrian, on 1Kgs 20:20

Ephrem the Syrian · c. A.D. 306–373
1Kgs 20:20 · Douay-Rheims
“And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback with his horsemen.”
On this verse:
“Here the Scripture relates the two battles of the king of Israel against the Arameans, at which we have already hinted, and the twin slaughters of the Arameans, of which the second caused the death of 127, men, as God took his revenge on the impious voice of the Arameans, who said about the true God worshiped by the Israelites, "The Lord is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys."”
