1 Kings 13:13

And he said unto his sons, saddle me the ass
Which he used to ride on; intimating he had a mind to ride after him, and overtake him, as he might reasonably think he might, since the man of God was on foot:

so they saddled him the ass, and he rode thereon;
after the man of God, taking the way his sons directed.

1 Kings 13:13 In-Context

11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel. His son came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told their father the words that he had spoken to the king.

12 Then their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" His sons had seen the way taken by the man of God who had come from Judah.

13 Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him, and he got on it.

14 He followed the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. He asked him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" "I am," he said.

15 Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread."
