1 Kings 20:38

So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. [Rather, a bandage upon his eyes . אֲפֵר there can be no doubt, denotes some sort of covering ( LXX . τελαμών ), and is probably the equivalent of עֲפֵר . Ashes cannot be put on the eyes, and even on the head would be but a poor disguise. This bandage was at the same time in keeping with the prophet's role as a wounded man, and an effective means of concealment. It would almost seem as if this prophet was personally known to the king.]
