1 Kings 20:40 in Context — 1 Kings 20
38 Y el profeta se fué, y púsose delante del rey en el camino, y disfrazóse con un velo sobre los ojos.
39 Y como el rey pasaba, él dió voces al rey, y dijo: Tu siervo salió entre la tropa: y he aquí apartándose uno, trájome un hombre, diciendo: Guarda á este hombre, y si llegare á faltar, tu vida será por la suya, ó pagarás un talento de plata.
40 Y como tu siervo estaba ocupado á una parte y á otra, él desapareció. Entonces el rey de Israel le dijo: Esa será tu sentencia: tú la has pronunciado.
41 Pero él se quitó de presto el velo de sobre sus ojos, y el rey de Israel conoció que era de los profetas.
42 Y él le dijo: Así ha dicho Jehová: Por cuanto soltaste de la mano el hombre de mi anatema, tu vida será por la suya, y tu pueblo por el suyo.
