Context of 1 Kings 13:28
26And the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [of it] and said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of Jehovah; therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to him. 27And he spoke to his sons saying, Saddle me the ass; and they saddled it. And he went and found his corpse cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the corpse: the lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn the ass. 29And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and the old prophet came into the city, to mourn and to bury him. 30And he laid his corpse in his own sepulchre; and they mourned over him [saying], Alas, my brother!

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28The lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass - All here was preternatural.
