1 Kings 20:36-40
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
36
Then he said to him, 'Because you have not listened to the voice of the
Lord
, behold, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.' And
as soon as
he left him a lion found him and killed him.
37
Then he found another man and said, 'Please strike me.' And the man struck him, injuring him.
38
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39
And as the king passed 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 for any reason he goes missing, then your life shall be
forfeited
in place of his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40
Now while your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared.' And the king of Israel said to him, 'So shall your judgment be; you yourself determined
it.
'
King James Version
Chapter 20
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 was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
38
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
39
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
36
He told him, "Because you did not listen to the
Lord
, mark my words: When you leave me, a lion will kill you." When he left him, a lion attacked and killed him.
37
The prophet found another man and said to him, "Strike me!" So the man struck him, inflicting a wound.
38
Then the prophet went and waited for the king on the road. He disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39
As the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and said, "Your servant marched out into the middle of the battle. Suddenly, a man turned aside and brought someone to me and said, ‘Guard this man! If he is ever missing, it will be your life in place of his life, or you will weigh out seventy-five pounds of silver.’
40
But while your servant was busy here and there, he disappeared." The king of Israel said to him, "That will be your sentence; you yourself have decided it."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
36
Then the prophet told him, 'Because you have not obeyed the voice of the
Lord
, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.' And when he had gone, a lion did attack and kill him.
37
Then the prophet turned to another man and said, 'Hit me!' So he struck the prophet and wounded him.
38
The prophet placed a bandage over his eyes to disguise himself and then waited beside the road for the king.
39
As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him, 'Sir, I was in the thick of battle, and suddenly a man brought me a prisoner. He said, ‘Guard this man; if for any reason he gets away, you will either die or pay a fine of seventy-five pounds of silver!’
40
But while I was busy doing something else, the prisoner disappeared!' 'Well, it’s your own fault,' the king replied. 'You have brought the judgment on yourself.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
36
Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the
Lord
, behold, as soon as you have gone from me, a lion shall strike you down." And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion met him and struck him down.
37
Then he found another man and said, "Strike me, please." And the man struck him — struck him and wounded him.
38
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39
And as the king passed, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a soldier turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

40
While your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared." "That is your sentence," the king of Israel said. "You have pronounced it yourself."
