Stupid Messages

So yesterday, my husband, King of Israel, Ahab, got a message from Ben-Hadad saying that your gold and silver are mine and so is your wives and children. Then Ahab didn't know what to do so he went to the elders or the wise men and actually asked for advice instead of asking me, my husband is a wimpy man who thinks he is manly but he isn't. So I normally have to get things done for him. So anyway he said that he could not meet Ben-Hadad's needs and then he got another message from Ben-Hadad. It said, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful." Then my husband replied, "One who puts on his armour should not boast like one who takes it off." I really have no idea what any of these means though, but I guess that is okay because I don't really care.
