  • 1 Kgs 20:30-42 : 30 The rest of the Arameans fled to the city of Aphek, where a wall collapsed on 27,000 of them. Meanwhile, Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room. 31 His servants said to him, "We have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes on our heads and go to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life." 32 So they put sackcloth around their waists and ropes on their heads, went to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says: 'Please let me live.'" The king answered, "Is he still alive? He is my brother." 33 The men interpreted this as a good sign and quickly seized on it, saying, 'Yes, Ben-Hadad is your brother!' The king said, 'Go and bring him.' So Ben-Hadad came out to him, and Ahab had him brought into his chariot. 34 Ben-Hadad said to him, 'I will restore the cities that my father took from your father, and you can set up marketplaces for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.' Ahab replied, 'On the basis of a treaty, I will let you go.' So he made a treaty with him and let him go. 35 One of the sons of the prophets said to his companion by the word of the LORD, 'Strike me, please.' But the man refused to strike him. 36 Then the prophet said to him, 'Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.' And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him. 37 The prophet found another man and said, 'Please strike me.' So the man struck him and wounded him. 38 Then the prophet went and stood by the road to wait for the king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes. 39 As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him and said, 'Your servant went into the middle of the battle, and suddenly a man brought another man to me and said, "Guard this man. If he is missing, your life will be for his life, or you will pay a talent of silver." 40 But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.' The king of Israel said to him, 'That is your sentence; you have pronounced it yourself.' 41 Then the prophet quickly removed 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 released a man I had determined should die, it will be your life for his life, and your people for his people.'
