1 Kings 20:35-43
35Now a manH376 from 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 leaveH1980 me, 4a lionH743 will 5killH5221 you.” And as soon as he leftH1980 him a lionH743 foundH4672 him and 6killedH5221 him.
37Then he foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 strikeH5221 me.” And the manH376 struckH5221 him, 7injuringH6481H5221 him.
38So the prophetH5030 departedH1980 and waitedH5975 for the kingH4428 by the roadH1870, and 8disguisedH2664 himself with a bandageH666 overH5921 his eyesH5869.
39And as the kingH4428 passedH5674 byH5674, he criedH6817 outH6817 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “Your servantH5650 wentH3318 outH3318 into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and beholdH2009, a manH376 turnedH5493 asideH5493 and broughtH935 a manH376 to me and saidH559, ‘GuardH8104 thisH2088 manH376; ifH518 forH6485 anyH6485 reasonH6485 he goesH6485 missingH6485, 9then your lifeH5315 shall be forfeited inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 his lifeH5315, orH176 else you shall payH8254 a 10talentH3603 of silverH3701.’
40Now while your servantH5650 was busyH6213 hereH2008 and thereH2008, he disappearedH369.” And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to him, “SoH3651 shall your judgmentH4941 be; you yourselfH859 determinedH2782 it.”
41Then he quicklyH4116 tookH5493 the bandageH666 awayH5493 from his eyesH5869, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 recognizedH5234 him, that he was one of the prophetsH5030.
42And the prophet saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘SinceH3282 you have letH7971 goH7971 from your handH3027 the manH376 I had designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, 11your 12lifeH5315 shall be forfeited inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 his 13lifeH5315, and your peopleH5971 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 his peopleH5971.’”
43So 14the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 to his houseH1004 sullenH5620 and furiousH2198, and cameH935 to SamariaH8111.
