Within the books of Samuel and Kings, there are three royal figures who put on disguises in the final days of their reigns. This article examines the theme of disguise and how it functions in 1Sam 28, 1Kgs 14 and 1Kgs 22. Disguises serve two purposes within these texts: first, they help the characters cover up their provenance in their attempts to avoid God’s word and other people. Second, disguises also serve to reveal the characters’ attitude and intentions towards God’s prophetic word. Despite the attempts made to manipulate the prophetic word, these disguises are not only futile, but God’s word has the final say. Attention is also paid to how the motif of »disguise« helps to explain the nature of judgments that close these narratives.
