19. So he went back with him and ate bread in his house and drank water.
20. Now while they were sitting at the table, the word of Adonai came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21. and he cried to the man of God that came from Judah saying, “Thus says Adonai: Because you rebelled against the word of Adonai, and did not keep the commandment which Adonai your God commanded you,
22. but turned back, ate bread and drank water in the place of which He said to you, ‘Eat no bread and drink no water,’ your carcass will not enter the tomb of your fathers.”
23. So after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet he had brought back.
24. But when he was gone, a lion met him along the way and killed him. So his carcass was thrown on the road with both the donkey and the lion standing beside the carcass.
25. Then, men passed by and saw the carcass thrown on the road with the lion standing by the carcass. So they came and told it in the town where the old prophet lived.
26. Now when the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard it, he said: “It is the man of God who defied the word of Adonai; therefore Adonai gave him to the lion which mauled him and killed him, according to the word Adonai spoke to him.”
27. Then he spoke to his sons saying: “Saddle the donkey for me!” So they saddled it.
