And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

Verse 39 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Kings. A prophet receives a symbolic wound and causes Ahab to pronounce his own judgment through a story about a prisoner who was supposed to be guarded. He then announces that Ahab will pay for allowing Ben-hadad to escape. The episode again uses an indirect form of prophetic confrontation, similar to Nathan’s method with David. Ahab discovers that political mercy can constitute disobedience when it contradicts a divine command.
