Rotherham(i)
35 And, a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh––Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
36 So he said to him––Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote him.
37 Then found he another man, and said,––Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him––kept on smiting and wounding.
38 Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way,––and disguised himself with his turban over his eyes.
39 And so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king,––and said––Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said––Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out.
40 And so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him––Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided it.
41 Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes,––and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he.
