1 Kings 13:21-26

21and he cried unto the manH376 of GodH430 that cameH935 from JudahH3063, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedientH4784 unto the mouthH6310 of Jehovah, and hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 which Jehovah thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee, 22but camest backH7725, and hast eatenH398 breadH3899 and drunkH8354 waterH4325 in the placeH4725 of which he saidH1696 to thee, EatH398 no breadH3899, and drinkH8354 no waterH4325; thy body shall not comeH935 unto the sepulchre of thy fathersH1. 23And it came to pass, after he had eatenH398 breadH3899, and after he had drunkH8354, that he saddledH2280 for him the ass, to wit, for the prophetH5030 whom he had broughtH7725 backH7725. 24And when he wasH1961 gone, a lionH738 met him by the wayH1870, and slew him: and his body wasH1961 castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the ass stoodH5975 by it; the lionH738 also stoodH5975 by the body. 25And, behold, menH376 passedH5674 by, and sawH7200 the body castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the lionH738 standingH5975 by the body; and they cameH935 and told it in the cityH5892 whereH834 the oldH2205 prophetH5030 dweltH3427.

26And whenH834 the prophetH5030 that broughtH7725 him backH7725 from the wayH1870 heardH8085 thereof, he saidH559, It is the manH376 of GodH430, who was disobedientH4784 unto the mouthH6310 of Jehovah: therefore Jehovah hath delivered him unto the lionH738, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he spake unto him.
