1 Kings 13:21-26

21and the prophet cried outH7121 toH413 the manH376 of GodH430 whoH834 had comeH935 from JudahH3063, “This is whatH3541H559 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282H3588 you have defiedH4784 the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 and have notH3808 keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 gave youH6680, 22but you went backH7725 and ateH398 breadH3899 and drankH8354 waterH4325 in the placeH4725 whereH834 He toldH1696 youH413 notH408 to do soH398H3899H408H8354H4325, your bodyH5038 shall neverH3808 reachH935H413 the tombH6913 of your fathersH1.’”

23AndH1961 afterH310 the man of God had finished eatingH398 andH310 drinkingH8354, the old prophetH5030 whoH834 had brought him backH7725 saddledH2280 the donkeyH2543 for him. 24As he went on his wayH1980, a lionH738 met himH4672 on the roadH1870 and killed himH4191, and his bodyH5038 wasH1961 left lyingH7993 in the roadH1870, with the donkeyH2543 and the lionH738 standingH5975 besideH681 it.

25And there wereH2009 menH582 passing byH5674 who sawH7200 the bodyH5038 lyingH7993 in the roadH1870 withH853 the lionH738 standingH5975 besideH681 itH5038, and they wentH935 and reported thisH1696 in the cityH5892 whereH834 the oldH2205 prophetH5030 livedH3427.

26When the prophetH5030 whoH834 had brought him backH7725 fromH4480 his journeyH1870 heard thisH8085, he saidH559, “ItH1931 is the manH376 of GodH430 whoH834 disobeyedH4784 the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068. Therefore the LORDH3068 has delivered himH5414 to the lionH738, and it has mauled himH7665 and killed himH4191, according to the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 to him.”
