13:26When the old prophet who had invited him to his house heard the news,56 he said, “It is the prophet57 who rebelled against the Lord.58 The Lord delivered him over to the lion and it ripped him up59 and killed him, just as the Lord warned him.”6013:27He told his sons, “Saddle my donkey,” and they did so.6113:28He went and found the corpse lying in the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside it;62 the lion had neither eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey. 13:29The old prophet63 picked up the corpse of the prophet,64 put it on the donkey, and brought it back. The old prophet then entered the city to mourn him and to bury him. 13:30He put the corpse into his own tomb, and they65 mourned over him, saying, “Ah, my brother!” 13:31After he buried him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the tomb where the prophet66 is buried; put my bones right beside his bones, 13:32for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority67 against the altar in Bethel68 and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north69 will certainly be fulfilled.”
Footnotes
- 56 Heb “and the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard.”
- 57 Heb “the man of God.”
- 58 Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”
- 59 Heb “broke him,” or “crushed him.”
- 60 Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke to him.”
- 61 Heb “and they saddled [it].”
- 62 Heb “the corpse.” The noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“it”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 63 Heb “the prophet.” The word “old” has been supplied in the translation to distinguish this individual from the other prophet.
- 64 Heb “the man of God.”
- 65 “They” is the reading of the Hebrew text here; perhaps this is meant to include not only the old prophet but his sons (cf. v. 31).
- 66 Heb “the man of God.”
- 67 Heb “for the word which he cried out by the word of the Lord”
- 68 For location see ; ; ; ; .
- 69 Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.
