²⁹ So the prophet picked up the man’s body. He put it on the donkey. He brought it back to his own city. He wanted to mourn for him and bury him. ³⁰ Then he placed the body in his own tomb. People mourned for him. They said, “Oh, no, my friend! My dear friend!”

³¹ After the old prophet had buried the man of God, he spoke to his sons. He said, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Put my bones next to his bones.
