NSB(i)
35 A man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbors by the word of Jehovah: »Give me a wound.« But the man would not.
36 Then he said: »Because you have not listened to the voice of Jehovah, immediately after you leave me a lion will kill you.« When he went away a lion came rushing at him and killed him.
37 Then he came across another man, and said: »Give me a wound.« And the man gave him a blow wounding him.
38 So the prophet went away, and pulling his headband over his eyes to keep his face covered. He took his place by the road waiting for the king.
39 When the king went by he cried out to him: »Your servant went out into the fight. A man came to me. He brought a man to me and said: ‘guard this man. Do not let him get away. Your life is the price of his life or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.’
40 »But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him: ‘You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.’«
41 He quickly took the headband from his eyes. The king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.
