1 Kings 13:31

The Old Prophet and the Man of God

30Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”31After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,32for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
