1 Kings 13:28

The Old Prophet and the Man of God

27Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,28and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.29So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
