*
And as the king passed by ,
he cried unto the king :
and he said ,
Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle ;
and ,
behold ,
a man turned aside ,
and brought a man unto me ,
and said ,
Keep this man :
if by any means he be missing ,
then shall thy life be for his life ,
or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver .
*
And as thy servant was busy here and there ,
he was gone .
And the king of Israel said unto him ,
So shall thy judgment be ;
thyself hast decided it .
*
And he hasted ,
and took the ashes away from his face ;
and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets .
*
And he said unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction ,
therefore thy life shall go for his life ,
and thy people for his people .
