1 Kings 13:24-30

[24] a lion  met  him by the way,  and slew  him: and his carcase  was cast  in the way,  and the ass  stood  by  it, the lion  also stood  by the carcase.  [25] passed by,  and saw  the carcase  cast  in the way,  and the lion  standing  by  the carcase:  and they came  and told  it in the city  where the old  prophet  dwelt.  [26] And when the prophet  that brought him back  from the way  heard  thereof, he said,  It is the man  of God,  who was disobedient  unto the word  of the LORD:  hath delivered  him unto the lion,  which hath torn  him, and slain  him, according to the word  of the LORD,  which he spake  unto him. [27] And he spake  to his sons,  saying,  Saddle  me the ass.  And they saddled  him. [28] and found  his carcase  cast  in the way,  and the ass  and the lion  standing  by  the carcase:  the lion  had not eaten  the carcase,  nor torn  the ass.  [29] And the prophet  took up  the carcase  of the man  of God,  and laid  it upon the ass,  and brought it back:  and the old  prophet  came  to the city,  to mourn  and to bury  [30] And he laid  his carcase  in his own grave;  and they mourned  over him, saying, Alas,  my brother!
