1 Kings 20:33-42

33Now the menH582 were looking for a sign of hopeH5172, and they quicklyH4116 graspedH2480H4480 at this word and repliedH559, “Yes, your brotherH251 Ben-hadadH1130.”

“GoH935 and get himH3947!” saidH559 the king.

Then Ben-hadadH1130 came outH3318, and Ahab had him come upH5927 intoH5921 his chariotH4818.

34Ben-hadad saidH559 to himH413, “I will restoreH7725 the citiesH5892 my fatherH1 tookH3947 fromH854 your fatherH1; you may set upH7760 your own marketplacesH2351 in DamascusH1834, asH834 my fatherH1 did in SamariaH8111.”

“By this treatyH12851 IH589 release youH7971,” Ahab replied. So he madeH3772 a treatyH1285 with him and sent him awayH7971.

35Meanwhile, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, oneH376H259 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 toH413 his companionH7453, “Strike meH5221, pleaseH4994!”

But the man refusedH3985H376 to strike himH5221.

36Then the prophet saidH559 to him, “BecauseH3282 you have notH3808 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, as soon asH2005 you departH1980 from meH854 a lionH738 will kill youH5221.”

And when he leftH1980H681, a lionH738 found himH4672 and killed himH5221.

37Then the prophet foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376 and saidH559, “Strike meH5221, pleaseH4994!”

So the manH376 struck himH5221 and wounded himH5221H6481, 38and the prophetH5030 wentH1980 and waitedH5975 onH5921 the roadH1870 for the kingH4428, disguising himselfH2664 with a bandageH666 overH5921 his eyesH5869.

As the kingH4428 passed byH5674, heH1931 cried outH6817 toH413 the kingH4428: “Your servantH5650 had marched outH3318 into the middleH7130 of the battleH4421, when suddenlyH2009 a manH376 came overH5493 withH935 a captiveH376 and toldH559 meH413, ‘GuardH8104 thisH2088 manH376! IfH518 he goes missingH6485 for any reasonH6485, your lifeH5315 will be exchangedH1961 forH8478 his lifeH5315, orH176 you will weigh outH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701.2’ 40But while your servantH5650 wasH1961 busyH6213 hereH2007 and thereH2007, the man disappearedH369.”

And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to himH413, “SoH3651 shall your judgmentH4941 be; you have pronounced itH2782 on yourselfH859.”

41Then the prophet quicklyH4116 removedH5493 the bandageH666 fromH5921 his eyesH5869, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 recognizedH5234 himH853 asH3588 one of the prophetsH5030.

42And the prophet saidH559 toH413 the king, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282 you have let slipH7971 from your handH3027 the manH376 I had devoted to destructionH2764,3 your lifeH5315 will be exchangedH1961 forH8478 his lifeH5315, and your peopleH5971 forH8478 his peopleH5971.’”
