1 Kings20:31
31 ¶ And his servants said unto him, Behold, now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings : let us I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads , and go out to the king of Israel, peradventure he will save thy life.
More merciful than others, because that Religion which they had professed, taught them Humanity, and obliged them to shew Mercy.
As a testimony of our sorrow, for undertaking this War; and that we have justly forfeited our Lives for it, which we submit to their mercy▪ [illegible: 1 word].
