35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor by the word of Yahweh, `Smite me, I pray you;' and the man refuses to smite him,
36 and he said to him, `Because that you have not hearkened to the voice of Yahweh, lo, you are going from me, and the lion has smitten you;' and he goes from him, and the lion finds him, and smites him.
37 And he finds another man, and said, `Smite me, I pray you;' and the man smites him, smiting and wounding,
38 and the prophet goes and stands for the king on the way, and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes.
39 And it comes to pass--the king is passing by--that he has cried unto the king, and said, `Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man has turned aside and brings in unto me a man, and said, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then has your life been for his life, or a talent of silver you do weigh out;"
40 and it comes to pass, your servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel said unto him, Right [is] your judgment; you have determined [it]..
41 And he hastes and turns aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerns him, that he [is] of the prophets,
42 and he said unto him, `Thus said Yahweh, Because you have sent away the man I devoted, out of [your] hand, even your life has been for his life, and your people for his people;.
43 and the king of Israel goes unto his house, sulky and wroth, and comes in to Samaria.
