26When the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard the news, he said, “It is the man of God who rebelled against the word of Yahweh. So Yahweh handed him over to the lion, which mauled him and killed him, in accordance with the word Yahweh had spoken to him.”

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

28He went and found the man of God’s corpse thrown down on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the corpse or mauled the donkey.
