1 Kings 20:35-42

And a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto his neighbour
<07453>
in the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>
refused
<03985> (8762)
to smite
<05221> (8687)
him.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
behold, as soon as thou art departed
<01980> (8802)
from me, a lion
<0738>
shall slay
<05221> (8689)
thee. And as soon as he was departed
<03212> (8799)
from him
<0681>_,
a lion
<0738>
found
<04672> (8799)
him, and slew
<05221> (8686)
him.
Then he found
<04672> (8799)
another
<0312>
man
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him, so that in smiting
<05221> (8687)
he wounded
<06481> (8800)
[him]. {so that...: Heb. smiting and wounding}
So the prophet
<05030>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and waited
<05975> (8799)
for the king
<04428>
by the way
<01870>_,
and disguised
<02664> (8691)
himself with ashes
<0666>
upon his face
<05869>_.
And as the king
<04428>
passed by
<05674> (8802)_,
he cried
<06817> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
went out
<03318> (8804)
into the midst
<07130>
of the battle
<04421>_;
and, behold, a man
<0376>
turned aside
<05493> (8804)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
a man
<0376>
unto me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Keep
<08104> (8798)
this man
<0376>_:
if by any means
<06485> (8736)
he be missing
<06485> (8735)_,
then shall thy life
<05315>
be for his life
<05315>_,
or else thou shalt pay
<08254> (8799)
a talent
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_.
{pay: Heb. weigh}
And as thy servant
<05650>
was busy
<06213> (8802)
here and there, he was gone
<0369>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, So [shall] thy judgment
<04941>
[be]; thyself hast decided
<02782> (8804)
[it]. {he was...: Heb. he was not}
And he hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and took the ashes
<0666>
away
<05493> (8686)
from his face
<05869>_;
and the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
discerned
<05234> (8686)
him that he [was] of the prophets
<05030>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Because thou hast let go
<07971> (8765)
out of [thy] hand
<03027>
a man
<0376>
whom I appointed to utter destruction
<02764>_,
therefore thy life
<05315>
shall go for his life
<05315>_,
and thy people
<05971>
for his people
<05971>_.
