nsb - 1Kings:20:35-43

nsb@1Kings:20:35 @ A man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbors by the word of Jehovah: »Give me a wound.« But the man would not.

nsb@1Kings:20:36 @ Then he said: »Because you have not listened to the voice of Jehovah, immediately after you leave me a lion will kill you.« When he went away a lion came rushing at him and killed him.

nsb@1Kings:20:37 @ Then he came across another man, and said: »Give me a wound.« And the man gave him a blow wounding him.

nsb@1Kings:20:38 @ So the prophet went away, and pulling his headband over his eyes to keep his face covered. He took his place by the road waiting for the king.

nsb@1Kings:20:39 @ When the king went by he cried out to him: »Your servant went out into the fight. A man came to me. He brought a man to me and said: guard this man. Do not let him get away. Your life is the price of his life or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

nsb@1Kings:20:40 @ »But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him: You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.«

nsb@1Kings:20:41 @ He quickly took the headband from his eyes. The king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.

nsb@1Kings:20:42 @ He said to him: »These are the words of Jehovah: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.«

nsb@1Kings:20:43 @ Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, he went to Samaria.
