35And a certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." But the man refused to strike him.36And he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as you depart from me the lion will strike you." So he went away from him, and the lion found him and struck him.37And he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, striking and wounding him.38And the prophet went and stood by the king on the road, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.39And as the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if he is missing, your life shall be required for his life, or else you shall weigh out a talent of silver.'"40And while your servant was doing here and there, he was not there. And the king of Israel said to him, "So is your sentence; you yourself have decided it."41And he quickly removed the bandage from over his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, for he was from the prophets.42And he said to him, "Thus says the LORD: Because you sent away the man I had devoted from your hand, your life shall be required for his life, and your people for his people."43And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and he came to Samaria.
