21. and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus hath the Lord said, Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the mouth of the Lord and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
22. but didst come back and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23. And when he had eaten of the bread and after he had drunk, the prophet that had brought him back saddled an ass for him,
24. and as he went, a lion met him by the way and slew him, and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, and the lion also stood by the carcase.
25. And, behold, men passed by and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26. And when the prophet that had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who rebelled against the word of the Lord; therefore, the Lord has delivered him unto the lion, who has torn him and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke unto him.
27. And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me an ass. And they saddled it for him.
