1 Kings 20:39-41

International Standard Version

³⁹ As the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and told him, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle, and a soldier turned aside, brought a prisoner to me, and told me, ‘Guard this man. If he turns up missing for any reason at all, you’ll pay for it with your life or be fined one talent^[a] of silver.’ ⁴⁰ While your servant was busy here and there, the prisoner escaped.”

The king told him, “By your actions you’ve earned the proper judgment!”

⁴¹ Then the prophet quickly tore off his bandage, and the king of Israel recognized him as being one of the prophets.
