1 Kings 20:39-41
Modern English Version
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, ‘Keep this man, and if by any means he goes missing, then your life shall be given for his life, or else you shall pay a talent[a] of silver.’ 40 As your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.”
And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have decided it yourself.”
41 He quickly took the ashes away from his face, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
