Contextual Overview
1Ben-hadad king of Aram (Syria) gathered all his army together; thirty-two kings were [allied] with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria [Israel's capital], and fought against it. 2Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel; and he said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad: 3'Your silver and your gold are mine; your wives and your children, even the fairest, also are mine [as conditions of peace].'"4The king of Israel [conceded his defeat and] answered, "By your word, my lord, O king, I am yours, and all that I have." 5The messengers returned and said, "Thus says Ben-hadad: 'I indeed sent word to you, saying, "You shall give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children," 6but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and they will take with their hands (confiscate) whatever is desirable in your eyes and carry it away.'" 7Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is seeking our destruction. For he sent messengers to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I did not refuse him." 8All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent [to this additional demand]." 9So he said to Ben-hadad's messengers, "Tell my lord the king, 'Every demand you first sent to your servant I will do, but I cannot do this [additional] thing [as a condition of peace].'" And the messengers left; then they brought him word again. 10Ben-hadad sent word to him and said, "May the gods do so to me, and more also, if there is enough dust left of Samaria for handfuls for all the [armed] people who follow me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thy silver and thy gold is mine,.... Not of right, but reckoning it as good as in his hands, Ahab not being able to resist him:
and thy wives also; for it seems he had more than Jezebel:
and thy children; which were many, for he had no less than seventy sons, 2 Kings 10:1,
even the goodliest are mine: some aggravate this, as if his view was to commit the unnatural sin with his male children, when in his possession.
