1 Kings 20:35-37

Modern English Version

A Prophet Condemns Ahab

³⁵ Speaking in the word of the Lord, a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor, “Strike me, please.” But the man refused to strike him.

³⁶ Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.” And as soon as he left him, a lion found and killed him.

³⁷ Then he found another man and said, “Strike me, please.” And the man struck him so that he was wounded.
