1 Kings 20:35-37

Good News Translation

A Prophet Condemns Ahab

³⁵ At the Lord's command a member of a group of prophets ordered a fellow prophet to hit him. But he refused, ^36 (A)so he said to him, “Because you have disobeyed the Lord's command, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.” And as soon as he left, a lion came along and killed him.

³⁷ Then this same prophet went to another man and said, “Hit me!” This man did so; he hit him a hard blow and hurt him.
