Some people walked by and saw the body with the lion standing there. They ran into Bethel, telling everyone what they had seen.
At that time an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons told him what the prophet from Judah had said and done.
When the old prophet heard the news, he said, “That must be the prophet from Judah. The LORD warned him, but he disobeyed. So the LORD sent a lion to kill him.”
