38 Le prophète alla se placer sur le chemin du roi, et il se déguisa avec un bandeau sur les yeux.
39 Lorsque le roi passa, il cria vers lui, et dit: Ton serviteur était au milieu du combat; et voici, un homme s’approche et m’amène un homme, en disant: Garde cet homme; s’il vient à manquer, ta vie répondra de sa vie, ou tu paieras un talent d’argent!
40 Et pendant que ton serviteur agissait çà et là, l’homme a disparu. Le roi d’Israël lui dit: C’est là ton jugement; tu l’as prononcé toi-même.
