1 Kings 13:23-32

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. 27And he spake to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, SaddleH2280 me the ass. And they saddledH2280 it. 28And he went and foundH4672 his body castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the ass and the lionH738 standingH5975 by the body: the lionH738 had not eatenH398 the body, nor torn the ass. 29And the prophetH5030 tookH5375 up the body of the manH376 of GodH430, and laid it upon the ass, and broughtH935 it backH7725; and he cameH935 to the cityH5892 of the oldH2205 prophetH5030, to mournH5594, and to buryH6912 him. 30And he laid his body in his own graveH6913; and they mournedH5594 over him, saying, AlasH1945, my brotherH251! 31And it came to pass, after he had buriedH6912 him, that he spake to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, When I amH1961 deadH4191, then buryH6912 me in the sepulchre wherein the manH376 of GodH430 is buriedH6912; lay my bonesH6106 beside his bonesH6106. 32For the saying which he cried by the wordH1697 of Jehovah against the altarH4196 in Beth-el, and against all the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116 which are in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, shall surely come to pass.
