And it came to pass as the king passed by that he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold a man turned aside and brought another to me, saying, ‘Guard this man; if he is missing, your life shall be in place of his, or you shall weigh out a talent of silver.’”
