Exegesis
The scene then shifts to uven-hadad {וּבֶן־הֲדַד֩ | ū·ḇen-ha·ḏaḏ} ‘Ben-Hadad’, whose state is portrayed by the participle shoteh {שֹׁתֶ֨ה | šō·ṯēh} ‘drinking’ and the adjective shikor {שִׁכּ֜וֹר | šî·kôr} ‘drunk’, heightening his inebriation.
In context — 1 Kings 20:16
And they went out at noon , and Ben-Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the tents —he and the thirty-two kings assisting him.
