1 Kings 20:38

So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

Cross-reference

1 Kings 20:35 shows the prophet asking to be struck — the immediate setup for his disguise in 20:38, explaining why he appears wounded.

In 1 Kings 20:41, he removes the bandage and is recognized — the direct sequel, revealing the disguise's purpose and the prophet's identity.

In 1 Kings 22:30, King Ahab himself disguises before battle — a parallel act of concealment by the same king, but to escape death rather than deliver a message.

2 Chronicles 18:29 parallels 1 Kings 22:30 — Ahab's battlefield disguise, mirroring the prophet's earlier disguise in a different context.
