2 Kings 18:23,24

Now, therefore, give pledges to my lord the king That is, give hostages to ensure thy future obedience and subjection. And I will deliver thee two thousand horses, &c. There is so little likelihood of thy being able to withstand the power of my master, who has thousands of chariots and horses, that I challenge thee to produce two thousand skilful horsemen that know how to manage horses, and I will give thee two thousand horses for them. How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain, &c. How wilt thou force him to turn his back to thee, and flee away from thee?
