1 Kings 20:35–41

³⁵Now a certain man of ^athe sons of the prophets said to ¹another ^bby the word of the Lord, “Please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him.

³⁶Then he said to him, “Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, ^aa lion will ¹kill you.” And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and ²killed him.

³⁷Then he found another man and said, “Please ¹strike me.” And the man ²struck him, ³wounding him.

³⁸So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and ^adisguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.

³⁹As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, ^athen your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’

⁴⁰“While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.”

⁴¹Then he hastily took the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him that he was of the prophets.
