1 Kings 20:43
Heavy and displeased - Rather, "sullen and angry" (and so marginal reference), not repentant, as after Elijah' s warning I Kings 21:27 - not acknowledging the justice of his sentence - but full of sullenness and suppressed anger.
41 And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42 Then he said to him, “Thus says the Lord: a‘Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’ ”
43 So the king of Israel awent to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
