1 Kings 20:35-43

35And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him. 36Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him. 37Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him violently, and wounded [him]. 38And the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a sash over his eyes. 39And as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 40And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [is] thy judgment: thyself hast decided [it]. 41Then he hastily took the sash away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him, that he was of the prophets. 42And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man that I had devoted to destruction, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. 43And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.
