1 KINGS 20:39 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it — Ahab pronounces judgment on the hypothetical case: death or payment. The phrase shows him making a decree without realizing the parable applies to himself.
