    14 He went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. He asked him, 'Are you the man of God who came from Judah?' He replied, 'I am.'

    15 Then the prophet said to him, 'Come home with me and eat some food.'

    16 But the man of God replied, 'I cannot go back with you, nor can I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.'

    19 So the man of God returned with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.

    20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,

    21 and he cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, 'This is what the LORD says: Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you,

    22 'but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to eat or drink, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your ancestors.'

    23 After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.

    24 As he was traveling, a lion met him on the road and killed him. His body was thrown on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.

    25 Some people who passed by saw the body lying on the road, with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported it in the city where the old prophet lived.

    26 When the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard about it, he said, 'It is the man of God who defied the command of the LORD. Therefore, the LORD has given him over to the lion, which has mauled and killed him, just as the word of the LORD had spoken to him.'
