1 Kings 20:41-43
Wycliffe Bible
41 And anon he removed the cloth, either binding, from his face (And at once he removed the cloth, or the wrapping, from his face), and the king of Israel knew him, that he was (one) of the prophets.
42 The which said to the king, The Lord saith these things, For thou deliveredest from thine hand a man worthy (of) death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 Therefore the king of Israel turned again into his house, and despised to hear God’s word, and came wroth into Samaria.[a] (And so the king of Israel returned to his house, despising the word of God that he had heard, and came back angry to Samaria.)
