What does 1 Kings 20:34 mean?

Ben-Hadad told him, 'I’ll give back the towns my father took from your father, and you can set up markets in Damascus like my father did in Samaria.' Ahab replied, 'If you agree to this, I’ll let you go.' So they made a treaty, and Ahab let him go free. 1 Kings 20:34 - Modern Text Bible

(Ben-Hadad offers to return lost cities and trade rights. Ahab agrees, making a deal instead of finishing the war. This is a political move, but it ignores God’s earlier command to destroy Ben-Hadad.)
