## 1 Kings 13:27 in Context (Verses 24–30 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/24) And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/25) 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.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/26) 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.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/27) And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled *him*.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/28) 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.*
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/29) 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.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-kings/13/30) And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, *saying*, Alas, my brother!
