1 Kings 20:34-36
New American Standard Bible 1995
34 Ben-hadad said to him, “(A)The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” Ahab said, “And I will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35 Now a certain man of (B)the sons of the prophets said to [a]another (C)by the word of the Lord, “Please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him. 36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, (D)a lion will [b]kill you.” And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and [c]killed him.
