37Then he found another man, and said, Please strike me. The man struck him, smiting and wounding him.
38So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he 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, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
40As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. The king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
41He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42He said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
43The king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
