Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray you. And the man struck him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor by the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray you. And the man refused to smite him.
Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
He that strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to death.
