Contextual Overview
1 Now Ben-Hadad the king of Aram rallied his whole army; with him were thirty-two kings, besides horses and chariots. Then he marched on Shomron and laid siege to it. 2 He sent messengers inside the city to Ach'av king of Isra'el 3 to say to him, "Here is the message from Ben-Hadad: ‘Your silver and gold are mine, also your wives and your best children are mine.'" 4 The king of Isra'el answered, "Just as you say, my lord, king; I am yours, along with everything I own." 5 The messengers returned and said, "Here is Ben-Hadad's response: ‘I sent you a message to hand over your silver, gold, wives and children to me. 6 But I am going to send my servants to you tomorrow around this time; they will ransack your house and the houses of your servants; and whatever they see that they like they will seize and remove.'" 7 Then the king of Isra'el summoned all the leaders of the land and said, "Please take notice! Do you see how this man is trying to make trouble? First he demanded my wives, children, silver and gold; and I denied him nothing." 8 All the leaders and all the people said to him, "Don't listen, and don't agree." 9 So he said to Ben-Hadad's messengers, "Tell my lord the king, ‘I will do all that you asked of me the first time, but this I cannot do." The messengers left and brought word back to him. 10 Ben-Hadad then sent this message to him: "May the gods do terrible things to me and worse ones as well if there's enough dust in Shomron to give each of my followers a handful!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king of Israel answered and said, my lord, O king,.... So he said to Benhadad's messengers, representing him, as acknowledging his sovereignty over him:
according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have: which he understood of holding all that he had of him, by giving him homage, and paying him tribute; not that he was to deliver all his substance, and especially his wives and children, into his hands.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 20:4. I am thine, and all that I have. — He probably hoped by this humiliation to soften this barbarous king, and perhaps to get better conditions.
