Ahab Condemned
35 Now a certain man of athe sons of the prophets said to his neighbor bby the word of the Lord, “Strike me, please.” And the man refused to strike him.
36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you.” And as soon as he left him, aa lion found him and killed him.
37 And he found another man, and said, “Strike me, please.” So the man struck him, inflicting a wound.
38 Then the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39 Now aas the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, byour life shall be for his life, or else you shall1 pay a talent of silver.’
