Context
13:28 He went and found the corpse lying in the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside it ; the lion had neither eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey .
13:29 The old prophet picked up the corpse of the prophet , put it on the donkey , and brought it back . The old prophet then entered the city to mourn him and to bury him.
13:30 He put the corpse into his own tomb , and they mourned over him, saying, “Ah , my brother !”
13:31 After he buried him, he said to his sons , “When I die , bury me in the tomb where the prophet is buried ; put my bones right beside his bones ,
13:32 for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority against the altar in Bethel and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north will certainly be fulfilled .”
A Prophet Announces the End of Jeroboam’s Dynasty

13:34 This sin caused Jeroboam’s dynasty to come to an end and to be destroyed from the face of the earth .
