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.

And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard {thereof}, he said, It {is} the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him. {torn: Heb. broken}

And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. {torn: Heb. broken}

And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
