1 Kin 20:23
¶ Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Israel's

god is a

god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

Or
gods are gods
.
2
In polytheistic religions it was common for gods to be associated with particular topological regions or natural events (like rain or lightning). The thinking evidently was that supernatural beings must control the many aspects of nature, and that man could gain some control over nature by acknowledging and appeasing these beings. The Arameans (Syrians) may have associated the God of Israel with Mt. Sinai; and instead of realizing that they needed to appeal to the one true God who favored Israel, they imagined that God did not control the plains and valleys (cf v 28), and that Israel could be defeated there by superior numbers.
