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.' 27 Then he said to his sons, 'Saddle the donkey for me.' So they saddled the donkey. 28 He went and found the man's body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body nor attacked the donkey. 29 So the prophet picked up the body of the man of God and laid it on the donkey, and he brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him. 30 He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, saying, 'Alas, my brother!' 31 After burying him, the prophet said to his sons, 'When I die, bury me in the same tomb where the man of God is buried.
