New Testament

1 Kings 13:28-34 English Standard Version (ESV)

28. And he went and found his body thrown in the road, and the donkey and the lion standing beside the body. The lion had not eaten the body or torn the donkey.

29. And the prophet took up the body of the man of God and laid it on the donkey and brought it back to the city to mourn and to bury him.

30. And he laid the body in his own grave. And they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”

31. And after he had buried him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

32. For the saying that he called out by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses of the high places that are in the cities of Samaria shall surely come to pass.”

33. After this thing Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but made priests for the high places again from among all the people. Any who would, he ordained to be priests of the high places.

34. And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, so as to cut it off and to destroy it from the face of the earth.
