"Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Then he found another man, and said, smite me, I pray thee,.... This is not said to be his neighbour, nor one of the sons of the prophets, but a
rustic man, and so stuck not to take him at his word: and the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him; in his face; made some incision in his flesh, broke the skin, and fetched blood of him; perhaps somewhere about his eyes, by what follows: this he got done to him, that he might look like a wounded soldier, and thereby get the more easily to the speech of Ahab.
