I Kings 20:38

First Kings 20 records Ben-hadad king of Syria besieging Samaria with thirty-two allied kings and demanding Ahab's silver, gold, women, and children, then escalating his demands until Ahab refuses. A prophet delivers God's word that Ahab will defeat the vast Syrian host, and Israel's young men strike down the Syrians while Ben-hadad escapes, with a second victory the next year at Aphek after the Syrians arrogantly claim the Lord is only a god of the hills. When Ahab spares Ben-hadad and makes a treaty, a prophet condemns him: because he let the man God devoted to destruction go free, Ahab's life will pay for his, and Ahab returns to Samaria heavy and displeased.
