Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of Yahweh, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. 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 die, shall be surely put to death.
