20While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21and 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.'
23After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
24As 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.
25Some 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.
