1 Kings 20:37-39

Expanded Bible

³⁷ The prophet went to another man and said, “Hit me, please!” So the man hit him and hurt him. ³⁸ The prophet ·wrapped his face in a cloth [placed a bandage over his eyes; ^Cto disguise himself]. Then he went and waited by the road for the king. ³⁹ As Ahab king of Israel passed by, the prophet called out to him. “I went to fight in the battle,” the prophet said. “One of our men brought an ·enemy soldier [^Lman] to me. Our man said, ‘Guard this man. If he ·runs away [is missing], ·you will have to give your life in his place [^Lit will be your life for his life]. Or, you will have to pay a ·fine of seventy-five pounds [^Ltalent] of silver.’
