1 Kings 13:20-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

20. Now it happened that they were sitting at the table, and the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back.

21. He proclaimed to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command which Yahweh your God commanded you,

22. but you have returned and have eaten food and drank water in the place which he ordered you not to eat food nor to drink water, then your dead body shall not return to the tomb of your ancestors.’ ”

23. It happened after he ate food and drank water that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.

24. When he left, a lion found him on the road and killed him, and his dead body was thrown on the road with the donkey standing beside it, and the lion was standing by the dead body.
