1 Kings 13:26–32

²⁶When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who defied^j the word of the Lord. The Lord has given him over to the lion, which has mauled him and killed him, as the word of the Lord had warned him.”

²⁷The prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they did so. ²⁸Then he went out and found the body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey. ²⁹So the prophet picked 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. ³⁰Then he laid the body in his own tomb,^k and they mourned over him and said, “Alas, my brother!”^l

³¹After burying him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried; lay my bones^m beside his bones. ³²For the message he declared by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high placesⁿ in the towns of Samaria^o will certainly come true.”^p
