1Kings:20:35-43
drb@1Kings:20:35 @Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his companion in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike.
drb@1Kings:20:36 @Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold then shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
drb@1Kings:20:37 @Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him.
drb@1Kings:20:38 @So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
drb@1Kings:20:39 @And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
drb@1Kings:20:40 @And whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed.
drb@1Kings:20:41 @But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets.
drb@1Kings:20:42 @And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a mall worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
drb@1Kings:20:43 @And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
