1 Kings 20 : 35 - 40
Chapter 20
| 35 | Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Strike me, please." And the man refused to strike him. |
| 36 | Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you." And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him. |
| 37 | And he found another man, and said, "Strike me, please." So the man struck him, inflicting a wound. |
| 38 | Then the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes. |
| 39 | Now as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, "Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.' |
| 40 | While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." Then the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it." |
