Exegesis
The comparative clause kaʾăšer-śām {כַּאֲשֶׁר־שָׂם | kaʾăšer-śām} ‘just as he put’ ties the promise to actions of Ben-Hadad’s father in Samaria (bᵉšōmərôn {בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן | bᵉšōmərôn}).
In context — 1 Kings 20:34
And Ben-Hadad said to him, “The cities that my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall establish marketplaces for yourself in Damascus just as my father did in Samaria.” Then Ahab said, “By the covenant I will send you away.” So he made a covenant with him and sent him away.
