35A Prophet Denounces Ahab’s Actions One of the members of the prophetic guild, told his companion a message from the LORD,“Please wound me!” But the man refused to wound him.
36So the prophet said to him,“Because you have disobeyed the LORD, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.” When he left him, a lion attacked and killed him.
37He found another man and said,“Wound me!” So the man wounded him severely.
20While they were sitting at the table, the LORD’s message came to the old prophet who had brought him back.
21So he cried out to the prophet who had come from Judah,“This is what the LORD has said,‘You have rebelled against the LORD’s instruction and have not obeyed the command the LORD your God gave you.
22You went back. You ate food. And you drank water in the place of which he had said to you,“Eat no food. Drink no water.” Therefore your corpse will not be buried in your ancestral tomb.’”
23So this is what happened after he had eaten food and drunk water. The old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24So the prophet from Judah travelled on. Then a lion attacked him on the road and killed him.There was his body lying on the road, with the donkey standing next to it, and the lion just standing there by the body.

28He went and found the body lying in the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside it; the lion had neither eaten the body nor attacked the donkey.

10So he started back on another road; he did not travel back on the same road he had taken to Bethel.
11Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel. When his sons came home, they told him everything the prophet had done in Bethel that day. And they told their father all the words that he had spoken to the king.
12Their father asked them,“Which road did he take?” His sons showed him the road the prophet from Judah had taken.

17For an order came to me in the LORD’s message,‘Eat no food. Drink no water there. And do not return by the way you came.’”
18Then the old prophet said,“I too am a prophet like you. And an angel has told me in a message from the LORD,‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat food and drink water.’” But he had lied to him.
