If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’
Read word by wordBut while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.”
