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;

11 Now a certain older prophet was living in Bethel, and his son came and recounted to him all of the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel [and] the words he had spoken to the king, and they told them to their father.

12 Then their father asked them, "{Which way did he go}?" His sons had seen the way which the man of God who had come from Judah had taken.

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

14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under the oak and said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I [am]."
