1 Kings 20:37-39

New Catholic Bible

³⁷ The prophet found another man and said, “Please strike me.” So the man struck and wounded him. ³⁸ The prophet left and waited for the king along the road, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.

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.’
