29. So the prophet lifted up the corpse of the man of God and put it on the donkey and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn him and to bury him.
30. He put his corpse in his tomb, and they mourned over him, “Alas, my brother!”

34. This matter became sin in the house of Jeroboam, to make it disappear and to destroy it from the surface of the earth.
