1 Kings 20:40 in Context — 1 Kings 20

38 E o profeta se foi, e pôs-se diante do rei no caminho, e disfarçou-se com um véu sobre os olhos.

39 E quando o rei passava, ele deu vozes ao rei, e disse: Teu servo saiu entre a tropa: e eis que um, que estava a sair, trouxe-me um homem, dizendo: Guarda a este homem, e se ele vier a faltar, tua vida será pela dele, ou pagarás um talento de prata.

40 E quando o teu servo estava ocupado à uma parte e à outra, ele desapareceu. Então o rei de Israel lhe disse: Essa será tua sentença: tu a pronunciaste.

41 Porém ele se tirou logo o véu de sobre seus olhos, e o rei de Israel conheceu que era dos profetas.

42 E ele lhe disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Porquanto soltaste da mão o homem de meu anátema, tua vida será pela sua, e teu povo pelo seu.
