1 Kings 20:35-40
35Now a certainH259 manH376 of 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 to 2anotherH7453 3by the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, “PleaseH4994 strikeH5221 me.” But the manH376 refusedH3985 to strikeH5221 him.
36Then he saidH559 to him, “BecauseH3282H834 you have not listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, beholdH2009, as soon as you have departedH1980 from me, 4a lionH743 will 5killH5221 you.” And as soon as he had departedH1980 from him a lionH743 foundH4672 him and 6killedH5221 him.
37Then he foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 7strikeH5221 me.” And the manH376 8struckH5221 him, 9woundingH6481H5221 him.
38So the prophetH5030 departedH1980 and waitedH5975 for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and 10disguisedH2664 himself with a bandageH666 overH5921 his eyesH5869.
39As the kingH4428 passedH5674 by, he criedH6817 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “Your servantH5650 wentH3318 out into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and beholdH2009, a manH376 turnedH5493 asideH5493 and broughtH935 a manH376 to me and saidH559, ‘GuardH8104 thisH2088 manH376; ifH518 for anyH6485 reasonH6485 he is missingH6485, 11then your lifeH5315 shall be for his lifeH5315, orH176 else you shall payH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701.’
40While your servantH5650 was busyH6213 hereH2008 and thereH2008, he was goneH369.” And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to him, “SoH3651 shall your judgmentH4941 be; you yourselfH859 have decidedH2782 it.”
