1 Kings 20:39-41
As the kingH4428 passed byH5674, heH1931 cried outH6817 toH413 the kingH4428: “Your servantH5650 had marched outH3318 into the middleH7130 of the battleH4421, when suddenlyH2009 a manH376 came overH5493 withH935 a captiveH376 and toldH559 meH413, ‘GuardH8104 thisH2088 manH376! IfH518 he goes missingH6485 for any reasonH6485, your lifeH5315 will be exchangedH1961 forH8478 his lifeH5315, orH176 you will weigh outH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701.1’ 40But while your servantH5650 wasH1961 busyH6213 hereH2007 and thereH2007, the man disappearedH369.”
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to himH413, “SoH3651 shall your judgmentH4941 be; you have pronounced itH2782 on yourselfH859.”
41Then the prophet quicklyH4116 removedH5493 the bandageH666 fromH5921 his eyesH5869, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 recognizedH5234 himH853 asH3588 one of the prophetsH5030.
