KJV - 1 Kings 20:39
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.
As the king walked by, he called out to the other king. He said, "My servant was in the middle of the fight. A man suddenly appeared and brought another man to me. He told me to watch this man closely. If he goes missing, then his life will be equal to yours or you must pay a large amount of silver."
