1 Kings 20:39-43
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
39
And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, 'Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if for any reason he goes missing, then your life shall be
forfeited
in place of his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40
Now while your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.' And the king of Israel said to him, 'So shall your judgment be; you yourself determined
it.
'
41
Then he quickly took the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was
one
of the prophets.
42
And
the prophet
said to him, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Since you have let go from
your
hand the man I had designated for destruction, your life shall be
forfeited
in place of his life, and your people in place of his people.’?'
43
So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and furious, and came to Samaria.
King James Version
Chapter 20
39
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.
40
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.
41
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42
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.
43
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
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, or you will weigh out seventy-five pounds 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."
41
He quickly removed the bandage from his eyes. The king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
42
The prophet said to him, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Because you released from your hand the man I had set apart for destruction, it will be your life in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’"
43
The king of Israel left for home resentful and angry, and he entered Samaria.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
39
As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him, 'Sir, I was in the thick of battle, and suddenly a man brought me a prisoner. He said, ‘Guard this man; if for any reason he gets away, you will either die or pay a fine of seventy-five pounds of silver!’
40
But while I was busy doing something else, the prisoner disappeared!' 'Well, it’s your own fault,' the king replied. 'You have brought the judgment on yourself.'
41
Then the prophet quickly pulled the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42
The prophet said to him, 'This is what the
Lord
says: Because you have spared the man I said must be destroyed, now you must die in his place, and your people will die instead of his people.'
43
So the king of Israel went home to Samaria angry and sullen.

And as the king passed, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a soldier turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."
41
Then he hurried to take the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42
And he said to him, "Thus says the
Lord
, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.’"
43
And the king of Israel went to his house vexed and sullen and came to Samaria.

39
As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him, "Your servant went into the thick of the battle, and someone came to me with a captive and said, ‘Guard this man. If he is missing, it will be your life for his life, or you must pay a talent of silver.’
40
While your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared." "That is your sentence," the king of Israel said. "You have pronounced it yourself."
41
Then the prophet quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42
He said to the king, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.’ "
43
Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went to his palace in Samaria.

40
While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “So
shall
your judgment
be;
you yourself have decided
it.
”
41
And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42
Then he said to him, “Thus says the
Lord
: ‘Because you have let slip out of
your
hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’ ”

So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
