Old Prophet Mourns the Man of GodBible World

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.

The man of God who had disobeyed the divine command was struck down on the road, killed by a lion as judgment for his disobedience. Afterward the old prophet lifted the lifeless body, laid it upon the donkey, and carried it back from where it had fallen. He brought it into the city for the purpose of mourning over the dead and giving him burial. That death and burial confirmed the sentence already pronounced against the disobedient prophet, proving that the word of God would surely be fulfilled.
