1Kings:20:35-43
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor ,
By the word of Jehovah ,
please strike me .
And the man refused to strike him .
*
And he said to him ,
Because you have not listened to the voice of Jehovah ,
behold ,
you shall go from me ,
and a lion shall kill you .
And he left him ,
and a lion found him and killed him .
*
And he found another man and said ,
Please strike me .
And the man struck him ,
striking and wounding .
*
And the prophet went and stood for the king on the highway ,
and disguised himself with ashes on his eyes .
*
And as the king passed by ,
it happened that he cried to the king ,
and said ,
Your servant went out into the middle of the battle ,
and behold ,
a man turned aside and brought a man to me ,
and said ,
Keep this man .
If he is at all missing ,
then your life shall be for his life ;
or you shall weigh out a talent of silver .
*
And it happened ,
your servant was working here and there ,
and he was not there .
And the king of Israel said to him ,
Your judgment is right .
You have decided it .
*
And he hurried and took the ashes from his eyes .
And the king of Israel saw him ,
that he was of the prophets .
*
And he said to him ,
So says Jehovah ,
Because you have sent away the man I had devoted from your hand ,
therefore your life shall go for his life ,
and your people for his people .
*
And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry ,
and came to Samaria .
