1 Kings 20:39-41

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁹ And as the king passed by, the [prophet] cried out to him, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man. If for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be required for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

⁴⁰ But while your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Such is your own verdict; you yourself have decided it.

⁴¹ The man hastily removed the ashes from his face, and Ahab king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
