Commentaire sur Rois 1 20:14
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אַחְאָב֙ בְּמִ֔י וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְּנַעֲרֵ֖י שָׂרֵ֣י הַמְּדִינ֑וֹת וַיֹּ֛אמֶר מִֽי־יֶאְסֹ֥ר הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אָֽתָּה׃
Avec l’aide de qui?" demanda Achab. "Ainsi dit le Seigneur, répondit le prophète: Avec l’aide des jeunes gens des gouverneurs de provinces. Qui, reprit-il, engagera la lutte? Toi-même," fut la réponse.
Rashi on I Kings
By the youths of the officers of the provinces. They are the hostages, for all the governors of the other nations would give their children into his custody [as a guarantee] that they will not rebel against him.10Also, this may have served as a demonstration of loyalty to the king. Alternatively, they were the children of Achov’s high ranking officers who were raised in the royal court.—Radak

Rashi on I Kings
Who will lead the battle? Who will array [the battle], to command it.11Being an idolater, Achov felt that he was unworthy to have a miracle performed through him and therefore he looked for another leader.—Radak
