1 Kings 13:24

13:24 As the prophet from Judah was traveling, a lion attacked him on the road and killed him. ¹  His corpse was lying on the road, and the donkey and the lion just stood there beside it. ² 

1 Kings 13:32

13:32 for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority ³  against the altar in Bethel ⁴  and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north ⁵  will certainly be fulfilled.”

¹ tn Heb “and he went and a lion met him in the road and killed him.”

² tn Heb “and his corpse fell on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was standing beside the corpse.”

³ tn Heb “for the word which he cried out by the word of the Lord”

⁵ tn Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.
