1 Kings 20:39-41

New Catholic Bible

³⁹ As the king passed by, he cried out to the king, “Your servant went out into the heat of the battle. A man came over and brought a man to me saying, ‘Guard this man. If he escapes, then you will pay a life for a life, or else you will have to pay a talent of silver.’ ⁴⁰ While your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.” The king of Israel said to him, “That will be your judgment; you have decided it for yourself.” ⁴¹ He quickly removed the bandage from his face, and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
