1 Kings 20:31-43

31And his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428: let us, I pray thee, putH7760 sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975, and ropesH2256 upon our headsH7218, and go outH3318 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will saveH2421 thy lifeH5315. 32So they girdedH2296 sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975, and put ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thy servantH5650 Ben–hadadH1130 saithH559, I pray thee, let me liveH5315H2421. And he saidH559, Is he yet aliveH2416? he is my brotherH251. 33Now the menH582 did diligently observeH5172 whether any thing would come from him, and did hastilyH4116 catchH2480 it: and they saidH559, Thy brotherH251 Ben–hadadH1130. Then he saidH559, GoH935 ye, bringH3947 him. Then Ben–hadadH1130 came forthH3318 to him; and he caused him to come upH5927 into the chariotH4818. 34And Ben–hadad saidH559 unto him, The citiesH5892, which my fatherH1 tookH3947 from thy fatherH1, I will restoreH7725; and thou shalt makeH7760 streetsH2351 for thee in DamascusH1834, as my fatherH1 madeH7760 in SamariaH8111. Then said Ahab, I will send thee awayH7971 with this covenantH1285. So he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and sent him awayH7971.1

35And a certainH259 manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his neighbourH7453 in the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, SmiteH5221 me, I pray thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smiteH5221 him. 36Then saidH559 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, behold, as soon as thou art departedH1980 from me, a lionH738 shall slayH5221 thee. And as soon as he was departedH3212 from himH681, a lionH738 foundH4672 him, and slewH5221 him. 37Then he foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 me, I pray thee. And the manH376 smoteH5221 him, so that in smitingH5221 he woundedH6481 him.2 38So the prophetH5030 departedH3212, and waitedH5975 for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and disguisedH2664 himself with ashesH666 upon his faceH5869. 39And as the kingH4428 passed byH5674, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428: and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 went outH3318 into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, behold, a manH376 turned asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto me, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: if by any meansH6485 he be missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 be for his lifeH5315, or else thou shalt payH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701.3 40And as thy servantH5650 was busyH6213 here and there, he was goneH369. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, So shall thy judgmentH4941 be; thyself hast decidedH2782 it.4 41And he hastedH4116, and took the ashesH666 awayH5493 from his faceH5869; and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 discernedH5234 him that he was of the prophetsH5030. 42And he saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LordH3068, Because thou hast let goH7971 out of thy handH3027 a manH376 whom I appointed to utter destructionH2764, therefore thy lifeH5315 shall go for his lifeH5315, and thy peopleH5971 for his peopleH5971. 43And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to his houseH1004 heavyH5620 and displeasedH2198, and cameH935 to SamariaH8111.
