1 Kings 20:40-42

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.

42And the prophet saidH559 toH413 the king, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282 you have let slipH7971 from your handH3027 the manH376 I had devoted to destructionH2764,1 your lifeH5315 will be exchangedH1961 forH8478 his lifeH5315, and your peopleH5971 forH8478 his peopleH5971.’”
