1 Kings 13:24-30

24The man of God left. A lion found him ⌞as he traveled⌟ on the road and killed him. His dead body was thrown on the road. The donkey and the lion were standing by the body.

25People who passed by saw the body lying on the road and the lion standing by the body. They talked about it in the city where the old prophet was living.

26When the old prophet who had brought the man of God back from the road heard about it, he said, “It’s the man of God who rebelled against the words from the Lord’s mouth! The Lord gave him to the lion. It tore him to pieces and killed him as the Lord’s word had told him.”

27Then the old prophet told his sons to saddle his donkey for him. So they did.

28He found the body of the man thrown on the road. He also found the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body, nor had it torn the donkey to pieces.

29The old prophet picked up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to his own city to mourn for him and to bury him.

30He laid the body of the man of God in his own tomb and mourned over the man, saying, “Oh no, my brother, my brother!”
