And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Kings. While they eat, the old prophet receives a true word announcing judgment against the man of God for his disobedience. Afterwards, the man dies on the road and is buried by the old prophet himself. The episode is deliberately tragic: the messenger who correctly proclaimed judgment against the altar is not exempt from obeying the word he himself had received. Prophetic ministry requires consistency between message and conduct.

Und da er wegzog, fand ihn ein Löwe auf dem Wege und tötete ihn; und sein Leichnam lag geworfen in dem Wege, und der Esel stand neben ihm und der Löwe stand neben dem Leichnam.
Y yéndose, topole un león en el camino, y matole; y su cuerpo estaba echado en el camino, y el asno estaba junto a él, y el león también estaba junto al cuerpo.
El hombre de Dios se fue, y un león lo encontró en el camino y lo mató. Su cadáver quedó tendido en el camino, y el burro estaba de pie junto a él; también el león estaba de pie junto al cadáver.
L'homme de Dieu s'en alla: et il fut rencontré dans le chemin par un lion qui le tua. Son cadavre était étendu dans le chemin; l'âne resta près de lui, et le lion se tint à côté du cadavre.
Ed egli se ne andò, ed un leone lo scontrò per la strada, e l’uccise; e il suo corpo morto giaceva in su la strada, e l’asino se ne stava in piè presso di quel corpo morto, e il leone parimente.
Este, pois, se foi, e um leão o encontrou no caminho, e o matou; e o seu cadáver ficou estendido no caminho, e o jumento estava parado junto a ele, e também o leão estava junto ao cadáver.
神人就去了,在路上有隻獅子遇見他,把他咬死。他的屍體倒在路上,驢站在屍體旁邊,獅子也站在屍體旁邊。
