1 Kings 13:22

Judgment

20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,

21 and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,

but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”

23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.

24 As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
