1 Kings 20:39-41
Christian Standard Bible
39 As the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant marched out into the middle of the battle. Suddenly, a man turned aside and brought someone to me and said, ‘Guard this man! If he is ever missing, it will be your life in place of his life,(A) or you will weigh out seventy-five pounds[a] of silver.’ 40 But while your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.”
The king of Israel said to him, “That will be your sentence; you yourself have decided it.”(B)
41 He quickly removed the bandage from his eyes. The king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
