1 Kings 20:35-37

New International Reader's Version

A Prophet Accuses Ahab

³⁵ There was a group of people called the group of the prophets. A message from the Lord came to one of their members. He said to his companion, “Strike me down with your weapon.” But he wouldn’t do it.

³⁶ The prophet said, “You haven’t obeyed the Lord. So as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.” The companion went away. And a lion found him and killed him.

³⁷ The prophet found another man. He said, “Please strike me down.” So the man struck him down and wounded him.
