1 Kings 20:39-40 ▼

39 When the king passed by, he called out to the king, |Your servant went out into the heat of the battle, and then a man turned aside and brought me a prisoner. He told me, 'Guard this prisoner. If he ends up missing for any reason, you will pay with your life or with a talent of silver.'

40 Well, it just so happened that while your servant was doing this and that, he disappeared.| The king of Israel said to him, |Your punishment is already determined by your own testimony.|
