1 Kings 20:39

As the king passed by, he cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
