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:

11 Now an old prophet was living in Bethel. His sons came and told him what the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what he had said to King Jeroboam.

12 The father asked, "Which road did he use when he left?" So his sons showed him the road the man of God from Judah had taken.
