1 Kings 20:39-42
39And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if for any reason he goes missing, 1then your life shall be forfeited in place of his life, or else you shall pay a 2talent of silver.’
40Now while your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself determined it.”
41Then he quickly took the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
42And the prophet said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Since you have let go from your hand the man I had designated for destruction, 3your 4life shall be forfeited in place of his 5life, and your people in place of his people.’”
