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
Yet I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time,.... He gave him twenty four hours to consider of it:
and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; the royal palace, and the houses of the noblemen, and even of every of his subjects in Samaria:
and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant (or desirable) in thine eyes, they shall put it in, their hand, and take it away; not be content with what should be given, but search for more; and if any in particular was more desirable to the possessor than anything else, that should be sure to be taken away; which was vastly insolent and aggravating.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ben-hadad, disappointed by Ahabâs consent to an indignity which he had thought no monarch could submit to, proceeds to put a fresh construction on his former demands.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 20:6. Whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes — It is not easy to discern in what this second requisition differed from the first; for surely his silver, gold, wives, and children, were among his most pleasant or desirable things. Jarchi supposes that it was the book of the law of the Lord which Ben-hadad meant, and of which he intended to deprive Israel. It is however evident that Ben-hadad meant to sack the whole city, and after having taken the royal treasures and the wives and children of the king, to deliver up the whole to be pillaged by his soldiers.
