And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 29 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.
