Context
38Ndipo nabii akaenda na kusimama barabarani akimsubiri mfalme. Akajibadilisha kwa kushusha kitambaa cha kichwani mwake hadi kwenye macho. 39Mfalme alipopita pale, yule nabii akamwita, “Mtumishi wako alikwenda vitani wakati vita vilipopamba moto, mtu mmoja akanijia na mateka akasema, ‘Mlinde mtu huyu. Kama akitoroka itakuwa uhai wako kwa uhai wake, ama vipande 3,000 vya fedha.’ 40Wakati mtumishi wako alipokuwa na shughuli nyingi hapa na pale, yule mtu akatoweka.”
Mfalme wa Israeli akasema, “Hiyo ndiyo hukumu yako. Wewe umeitaja mwenyewe.” 41Kisha yule nabii akajifunua macho yake haraka, na mfalme wa Israeli akamtambua kama mmoja wa manabii. 42Akamwambia mfalme, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Umemwacha huru mtu niliyekusudia afe. Kwa hiyo ni uhai wako kwa uhai wake, watu wako kwa watu wake.’ ”
