1 Kings 20:38-40

21st Century King James Version

³⁸ So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

³⁹ And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said, “Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle. And behold, a man turned aside and brought a man unto me, and said, ‘Keep this man. If by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.’

⁴⁰ And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” And the king of Israel said unto him, “So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.”
