The old prophet finds him

26When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, “It is the man of God who rebelled against the word of Yahweh; therefore Yahweh gave him to the lion, and it mauled him and killed him, according to the word of Yahweh that he spoke to him.”

27Then he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it.

28He went and found his corpse thrown on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse, nor had it torn apart the donkey.
