1 Kings 20:39-41

Lexham English Bible

³⁹ As the king was passing by, he called to the king and said, “Your servant went out in the thick of the battle, and suddenly a man turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man. If by any means he should be missed, it will be your life in his place, or you shall pay a talent of silver.’ ⁴⁰ It happened that your servant was busy here and there,^[a] and he disappeared.”^[b] Then the king said to him, “Your own judgment has been determined.” ⁴¹ He quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was from the prophets.
