New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Kings 20
36 Then he said to him, "Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you." And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and killed him.
37 Then he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, wounding him.
38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, ’Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40 While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." And the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."
41 Then he hastily took the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him that he was of the prophets.
42 He said to him, "Thus says the Lord, ’Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’"
43 So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.
1 Kings 21
1 Now it came about after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is close beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard than it in its place; if you like, I will give you the price of it in money."
3 But Naboth said to Ahab, "The Lord forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
