War
Israel planned to take over the Golan to halt the Aramean offensives. However, they were put together with the Bashanites and Amorites in battle for all of the strategic land.
Then, the Israelites came upon their main opponent, the Arameans. Aramean monarch Ben-Hadad I had a fierce standoff with the invaders. There were no reliable estimates for both sides' casualties, but some sources put Aramean casualties as high as 127,000 soldiers. Still, Ahab of Israel managed to crush the Arameans and take over the Golan to complete the later conquests of the Kingdom of Israel.
