1 Kings 20:35-43 - Ahab Rebuked By The Lord

³⁵ And, a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh - Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.

³⁶ So he said to him - Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote him.

³⁷ Then found he another man, and said, - Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him - kept on smiting and wounding. ³⁸ Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way, - and disguised himself with his turban over his eyes. ³⁹ And so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king, - and said - Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said - Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out. ⁴⁰ And so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him - Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided it.

⁴¹ Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes, - and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he. ⁴² And he said unto him - Thus, saith Yahweh, Because thou hast let go the man whom I had devoted, out of thy hand, therefore shall, thy life, be instead of, his life, and, thy people, instead of, his people. ⁴³ And the king of Israel departed unto his house, sullen and disturbed, - and entered Samaria.
