33. Benhadad's officials were watching for a good sign, and when Ahab said “brother”, they took it up at once, and said, “As you say, Benhadad is your brother!”“Bring him to me,” Ahab ordered. When Benhadad arrived, Ahab invited him to get in the chariot with him.
34. Benhadad said to him, “I will restore to you the towns my father took from your father, and you may set up a commercial centre for yourself in Damascus, just as my father did in Samaria.”Ahab replied, “On these terms, then, I will set you free.” He made a treaty with him and let him go.
35. At the Lord's command a member of a group of prophets ordered a fellow-prophet to hit him. But he refused,
36. so he said to him, “Because you have disobeyed the Lord's command, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.” And as soon as he left, a lion came along and killed him.
37. Then this same prophet went to another man and said, “Hit me!” This man did so; he hit him a hard blow and hurt him.
