23. So after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet he had brought back.
24. But when he was gone, a lion met him along the way and killed him. So his carcass was thrown on the road with both the donkey and the lion standing beside the carcass.
25. Then, men passed by and saw the carcass thrown on the road with the lion standing by the carcass. So they came and told it in the town where the old prophet lived.
26. Now when the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard it, he said: “It is the man of God who defied the word of Adonai; therefore Adonai gave him to the lion which mauled him and killed him, according to the word Adonai spoke to him.”
27. Then he spoke to his sons saying: “Saddle the donkey for me!” So they saddled it.
