1 Kings 20:34-36

Expanded Bible

³⁴ Ben-Hadad said to him, “Ahab, I will ·give you back [restore] the cities my father took from your father. And you may ·put shops [establish bazaars/markets/trading areas] in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.”

Ahab said, “If you ·agree [covenant] to this, I will allow you to go free.” So the two kings made a ·peace agreement [covenant; treaty]. Then Ahab let Ben-Hadad go free.

A Prophet Speaks Against Ahab

³⁵ One ·prophet from one of the groups of prophets [^Lof the sons of the prophets] told another, “Hit me!” He said this ·because the Lord had commanded it [by the word of the Lord], but the other man refused. ³⁶ The prophet said, “You did not obey the ·Lord’s command [^Lvoice of the Lord], so a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.” When the man left, a lion found him and killed him.
