1 Reyes 20:35-36

35 Y cierto hombre de los hijos de los profetas dijo a otro por palabra del SEÑOR: Te ruego que me hieras. Pero el hombre se negó a herirlo.

36 Entonces le dijo: Porque no has atendido a la voz del SEÑOR, he aquí, tan pronto como te apartes de mí, un león te matará. Y tan pronto se apartó de él, un león lo encontró y lo mató.
