1 Kings 20:35-40

35And a certain manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his fellow by the wordH1697 of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smite him. 36Then saidH559 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lionH738 shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lionH738 foundH4672 him, and slew him. 37Then he foundH4672 another manH376, and saidH559, Smite me, I pray thee. And the manH376 smote him, smiting and wounding him. 38So the prophetH5030 departed, and waited for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and disguisedH2664 himself with his headband over his eyesH5869. 39And as the kingH4428 passedH5674 by, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428; and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH3318 out into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, behold, a manH376 turnedH5493 asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto me, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: if by any means he beH1961 missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 beH1961 for his lifeH5315, or else thou shalt pay a talentH3603 of silverH3701. 40And as thy servantH5650 was busy hereH2008 and there, he was gone. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, SoH3651 shall thy judgmentH4941 beH1961; thyself hast decided it.
