1 Kings 20:40-42

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴⁰ “And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You have given sentence.”

⁴¹ And he hurried and took the ashes away from his face. And the king of Israel knew him, that he was of the Prophets.

⁴² And he said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because you have let go out of your hands a man whom I appointed to die, your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.”
