³⁵ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the Lord, “Smite me, I pray thee.” And the man refused to smite him.

³⁶ Then said he unto him, “Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.” And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and slew him.
