1Ki 13:23-24 | MHM | STEP | The Deceived Prophet Slain. This section tells how the prophet who was deceived by the old prophet died as a result of his disobedience. His story is a serious warning about the importance of fully obeying God’s commands, even when others try to persuade us otherwise. It also shows that God’s judgments are just, even if we do not always understand them right away. v. 23-24 : After the meal at the old prophet’s house, the man of God set out for home riding a donkey. On the way, a lion attacked and killed him (1 Kings 13:23-24 ). The lion did not eat the body or harm the donkey, showing that this was a special act of God’s judgment, not just a random attack.
