Old Testament/Stories of Solomon and the kings and prophets who followed him. I Kings 20:33ff
So the prophet
departed, and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with ashes
upon his face.
And as the king
passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, I 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 it will be your life for his
life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver. And as I was busy here and
there, the man slipped away.
And the king of
Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; you have decided it.
Then the prophet
quickly took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him
that he was of the prophets. And he said to him, "Thus says the LORD, '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.'"
So the king of
Israel went to his house . . . . .
What was the kings reaction to
the words of the prophet?
