1 Reis 13:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:24

And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him,
&c.] Perhaps not far from Bethel; and this lion might come out of the same wood the she bears did, that devoured the children that mocked the prophet, as Bishop Patrick conjectures, ( 2 Kings 2:23 2 Kings 2:24 ) and his carcass was cast in the way;
in the high road, where it seems the lion seized him, and he fell: and the ass stood by it;
disregarded and unhurt by the lion, though the prophet was pulled off of the back of him: the lion also stood by the carcass:
not offering to tear it in pieces and devour it, but rather, as if he was the guard of it, to keep off all others from meddling with it; these circumstances are very surprising, and show the thing to be of God; for when the lion had done what he had a commission to do, which was to kill the prophet, he was to do no more.

1 Reis 13:24 In-Context

22 Você voltou e comeu pão e bebeu água no lugar onde ele falou que não comesse nem bebesse. Por isso o seu corpo não será sepultado no túmulo dos seus antepassados’.”

23 Quando o homem de Deus acabou de comer e beber, o profeta idoso selou seu jumento para ele.

24 No caminho, um leão o atacou e o matou, e o seu corpo ficou estendido no chão, ao lado do leão e do jumento.

25 Algumas pessoas que passaram viram o cadáver estendido ali, com o leão ao lado, e foram dar a notícia na cidade onde o profeta idoso vivia.

26 Quando este soube disso, exclamou: “É o homem de Deus que desafiou a palavra do SENHOR! O SENHOR o entregou ao leão, que o feriu e o matou, conforme a palavra do SENHOR o tinha advertido”.
