1 Kings 20:35-40

35And a certainH259 manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his fellowH376 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, SmiteH5221 meH413, I prayH4994 thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smiteH5221 him.

36Then saidH559 he unto him, BecauseH3282 thou hast notH3808 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, beholdH2005, as soon as thou art departedH1980 from meH6963, a lionH738 shall slayH5221 thee. And as soon as he was departedH1980 from him, a lionH738 foundH4672 him, and slewH5221 him.

37Then he foundH4672 anotherH312 manH376, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 meH4994, I prayH4994 thee. And the manH376 smoteH5221 him, smitingH5221 and wounding him.

38SoH5975 the prophetH5030 departed, and waitedH5975 for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and disguisedH2664 himself with his headband over his eyesH5869.

39And as the kingH4428 passedH5674 by, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428: and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH3318 outH3318 intoH413 the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, beholdH2009, a manH376 turnedH5493 asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto meH413, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: ifH518 by anyH376 meansH518 he be missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 be for his lifeH5315, or elseH176 thou shalt payH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701.

40And as thy servantH5650 was busy hereH2008 and there, he was goneH369. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, SoH3651 shall thy judgmentH4941 be; thyself hast decidedH559 it.
