1 Kings 13:28

Read in context

1 Kings 13:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”

27 Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,

28 and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.

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

30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
