And the prophet took up the dead body of the man of God, and laid it on the ass and brought it back. And the prophet came to the city to mourn and to bury him.
And he went and found his body thrown in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor torn the ass.
And he laid his body in his own grave. And they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
And he said, Let him alone; let no one move his bones. And they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
And when his disciples heard, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
