³⁵ By the word of the Lord one of the company of the prophets^(A) said to his companion, “Strike me with your weapon,” but he refused.^(B)

³⁶ So the prophet said, “Because you have not obeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion^(A) will kill you.” And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him.
