1 Kings 20:39-42

39And as the kingH4428 passedH5674 by, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428; and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH3318 out into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, behold, a manH376 turnedH5493 asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto me, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: if by any means he beH1961 missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 beH1961 for his lifeH5315, or else thou shalt pay a talentH3603 of silverH3701. 40And as thy servantH5650 was busy hereH2008 and there, he was gone. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, SoH3651 shall thy judgmentH4941 beH1961; thyself hast decided it. 41And he hasted, and took the headband awayH5493 from his eyesH5869; and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 discerned him that he was of the prophetsH5030. 42And he saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Because thou hast let goH7971 out of thy handH3027 the manH376 whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy lifeH5315 shall goH7971 for his lifeH5315, and thy peopleH5971 for his peopleH5971.
