Tree Of Life Version

1 Kings 13:27-33 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

27. Then he spoke to his sons saying: “Saddle the donkey for me!” So they saddled it.

28. Then he went and found his carcass lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing by the carcass. The lion had not eaten the carcass nor mauled the donkey.

29. Then the prophet picked up the carcass of the man of God, he laid it on the donkey and brought it back to the town of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.

30. He laid his carcass in his own tomb and they mourned over him saying, “Oy , my brother!”

31. After burying him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

32. For the message he declared by the word of Adonai against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places which are in the towns of Samaria, will surely come to pass.”

33. Even after this, Jeroboam did not turn back from his evil way, but once again, he appointed priests for the high places from among all ranks of the people. Whoever wanted to be a priest, he consecrated him for the high places.
