35. There was a group that was called the company of the prophets. A message from the Lord came to one of their members. He said to his companion, "Strike me down with your weapon." But the man wouldn't do it.
36. The prophet said, "You haven't obeyed the Lord. So as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you." The companion went away. And a lion found him and killed him.
37. The prophet found another man. He said, "Please strike me down." So the man struck him down and wounded him.
38. Then the prophet went and stood by the road. He waited for the king to come by. He pulled his headband down over his eyes so no one would recognize him.
