18. Then the old prophet said, “But I also am a prophet like you.” Then he told a lie. He said, “An angel from the Lord came to me and told me to bring you to my home. He said you should eat and drink with me.”
19. So the man of God went to the old prophet’s house, and he ate and drank with him there.
20. While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet.
21. The old prophet cried out to the man of God from Judah, “The Lord said you did not obey him! He said you did not do what the Lord your God commanded you.
22. The Lord commanded you not to eat or drink anything in this place, but you came back and ate and drank. So your body will not be buried in your family grave.”
23. After the man of God finished eating and drinking, the prophet put a saddle on his donkey for him, and the man left.
24. As he was traveling home, a lion attacked and killed him. His body lay on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing nearby.
