1 Kings 20:33-42

Great(i) 33 And they toke the worde for good lucke & hastely caught it out of his mouth & sayde: yee thy brother Benhadad. He sayd: go, bring hym hyther. And Benhadad came out vnto hym, & he caused him to come vp into the charett. 34 And he sayd vnto him: the cyties whych my father toke from thy father, I wyll restore agayne. And thou shalt make streates for the in Damasco, as my father dyd in Samaria. And I wyll make an apoyntment with the, & send the awaye. And so he made an appoyntment with him, and sent hym awaye. 35 And there was a certen man of the children of the prophetes, which sayde vnto his neyghboure in the worde of the Lorde: smyte me I praye the. And the man wold not smyte him: 36 Then sayde he vnto him. Because thou hast not herkened vnto the voyce of the Lorde: beholde as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slaye the. And it came to passe, that as soone as he was departed from him, a Lyon founde him, & slue him. 37 Then he founde another man & sayde: smyte me I praye the. And the man smote him, so that in smytinge he wounded hym. 38 So the Prophete went forth, & wayted for the kyng by the waye, & put him selfe out of knowledge wt asshes, which he layed vpon hys face. 39 And when the kyng came by, he cryed vnto the kyng, & sayd: thy seruaunt went out in the myddes of the battell. And beholde, there went awaye a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayde: kepe this man. And yf he be myssed or lost, thy lyfe shall go for his: or else, thou shalt paye a talent of syluer. 40 And as thy seruaunt had here & there to do, he was gone. And the kyng of Israel sayde vnto hym: euen so shall thy iudgement be, as thou hast defyned it thy selfe. 41 And he hasted, & toke the asshes awaye from his face: & the kyng of Israel knewe him, that he was of the Prophetes. 42 And he sayde vnto him. thus sayth the Lorde: because thou hast lett go a man that is in my cursse, thy lyfe shall go for his lyfe, and thy people for his people.
