1 Kings 20:21
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
And the king of Israel went out,.... Of Samaria; when he saw the Syrians fleeing, and his army pursuing, he went forth, perhaps, with more forces, who were now willing to join with him; Josephus {c} says, Ahab had another army within the walls:
and smote the horses and chariots; that is, the men that rode on horses; and in chariots, the Syrian cavalry:
and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter; how many were slain is not said; but the Jewish historian {d} says they plundered the camp, in which were much riches, and great plenty of gold and silver, and took their chariots and horses, and returned to the city of Samaria.
