1 Kings 13:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:29

And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God
The lion perhaps made off as soon as he came, or, if he stayed, the prophet was not afraid of him, seeing he did not attempt to devour the carcass, nor touch the ass, nor do any hurt to those that passed by: and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back;
to his own city: and the old prophet came to the city to mourn, and to bury him;
to perform the funeral rites, according to the custom of the place.

1 Kings 13:29 In-Context

27 dixitque ad filios suos sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent

28 et ille abisset invenit cadaver eius proiectum in via et asinum et leonem stantes iuxta cadaver non comedit leo de cadavere nec laesit asinum

29 tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei et posuit illud super asinum et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangerent eum

30 et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater

31 cumque planxissent eum dixit ad filios suos cum mortuus fuero sepelite me in sepulchro in quo vir Dei sepultus est iuxta ossa eius ponite ossa mea
