1 Kings 20:40

And as thy servant was busy here and there, engaged with minor matters, which caused him to forget his trust, he was gone. The end of the parable, namely, as to whether he could be held responsible for the escape of the prisoner entrusted to him, is purposely omitted. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it, he would have to pay the penalty.
