34 Ben-Hadad lui dit: Je te rendrai les villes que mon père a prises à ton père; et tu établiras pour toi des rues à Damas, comme mon père en avait établi à Samarie. Et moi, reprit Achab, je te laisserai aller, en faisant une alliance. Il fit alliance avec lui, et le laissa aller.

35 L’un des fils des prophètes dit à son compagnon, d’après l’ordre de l’Éternel: Frappe-moi, je te prie! Mais cet homme refusa de le frapper.

36 Alors il lui dit: Parce que tu n’as pas obéi à la voix de l’Éternel, voici, quand tu m’auras quitté, le lion te frappera. Et quand il l’eut quitté, le lion le rencontra et le frappa.

37 Il trouva un autre homme, et il dit: Frappe-moi, je te prie! Cet homme le frappa et le blessa.
