1 Kings 13:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ When some people came along the road, they saw the dead body as it lay there. The lion was standing beside the body. The people went back to Bethel, the city where the old prophet lived. They reported what they had seen on the road.

²⁶ The old prophet who had brought God's servant back to his house heard the news. He said, ‘That dead man is God's servant who did not obey the Lord. So the Lord has given him to the lion, to tear him to pieces and to kill him. The Lord had warned him that this would happen.’

²⁷ The old prophet said to his sons, ‘Prepare my donkey for me to ride.’ So they did that.
