1 Kings 20:34 CPDV

³²  So they wrapped sackcloth around their waists, and they placed ropes on their heads. And they went to the king of Israel, and they said to him: 'Your servant, Benhadad, says: 'I beg you to let my soul live.' And he replied, 'If he is still alive, he is my brother.'

³³  The men accepted this as a good sign. And hastily, they took up the word from his mouth, and they said, 'Benhadad is your brother.' And he said to them, 'Go, and bring him to me.' Therefore, Benhadad went out to him, and he lifted him onto his chariot.

³⁴  And he said to him: 'The cities that my father took from your father, I will return. And you may make streets for yourself in Damascus, just as my father made in Samaria. And after we have made a pact, I will withdraw from you.' Therefore, he formed a pact with him, and he released him.

³⁵  Then a certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his associate, by the word of the Lord, 'Strike me.' But he was not willing to strike.

³⁶  And he said to him: 'Because you were not willing to heed the voice of the Lord, behold, you will depart from me, and a lion will slay you. And when he had departed a short distance from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
