Context of 1 Kings 13:29

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. So 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!’ 31When they had buried the man, the old prophet said to his sons, ‘When I die, bury me in the same grave where we buried the servant of God. Put my bones there, beside his bones.
