પણ હું અહીં તહીં કામમાં વ્યસ્ત હતો, એવામાં તે જતો રહ્યો. “પછી ઇઝરાયલના રાજાએ તેને કહ્યું, “તને એ સજા થવી જ જોઈએ - તેં પોતે જ એ નિર્ણય કર્યો છે.”
हिन्दी1 राजाओं २०:४०
उसके बाद तेरा दास इधर-उधर काम में फँस गया, फिर वह न मिला।” इस्राएल के राजा ने उससे कहा, “तेरा ऐसा ही न्याय होगा; तूने आप अपना न्याय किया है।”

In context

38So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.

39As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’

40As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”

41He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.

42He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
