1 Kings 13:23-30

23God's servant from Judah finished his meal. Then the old prophet prepared his donkey for him to ride.

24But as God's servant from Judah was travelling along the road, a lion attacked him. The lion killed him and it left his body on the road. The donkey and the lion stood beside the dead body.

25When some people came along the road, they saw the dead body as it lay there. The lion was standing beside the body. The people went back to Bethel, the city where the old prophet lived. They reported what they had seen on the road.

26The old prophet who had brought God's servant back to his house heard the news. He said, ‘That dead man is God's servant who did not obey the Lord. So the Lord has given him to the lion, to tear him to pieces and to kill him. The Lord had warned him that this would happen.’

27The old prophet said to his sons, ‘Prepare my donkey for me to ride.’ So they did that.

28Then the old prophet went along the road and he found the body. It was lying on the road. The donkey and the lion were standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body. It had not attacked the donkey.

29So the old prophet picked up the body of God's servant. He put it on the donkey. He brought it back to Bethel. He showed that he was very sad that the man had died and then he buried him.

30He put the body in the grave that he had prepared for himself. He and his sons were very upset, and they said, ‘Oh! My brother!’
