English
And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
Notes
The donkey did not run away, and the lion did not eat the man's body. This was a supernatural event. The old prophet immediately understood that God had fulfilled his word by judging disobedience (1 Kings 13:21–22).
