Background on Salvian the Presbyter

In his own words on 1 Kings

  • 1 Kings 20:20-30

    Did not the Lord wish Ben-hadad, king of Syria, whom besides countless thousands of his own people, thirty-two kings and armies of the same number of kings served, to be conquered by a few foot soldiers of the princes in order that he who was the author of such victory would be acknowledged?
