35A certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his companion by the word of Yahweh, “Please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him.

36Then he said to him, “Because you have not listened to the voice of the LORD, look, when you depart from me, the lion will strike you down.” And when he departed from him, the lion found him and struck him down.

37Then he found another man and said, “Please strike me.” So the man struck him and wounded him.
