What does 1 Kings chapter 13 verse 26 mean?

Answer 1

A:

1 Kings chapter 13 is a romantic story that demonstrates how prophets can sometimes come to harm, although the story implies some divine retribution.

A prophet had come from Judah into Israel, saying that God had told him neither to eat nor drink, although the reasons for this are unclear. An Israelite prophet convinced this prophet that God had told him to take the Judahite prophet home and give him food and drink, but having done so realised that he had caused the Judahits prophet to disobey God. Afterwards, the Judahite prophet was killed by a lion. In verse 13:26, the Israelite prophet heard of this disaster and realised immediately that the lion had killed the prophet whom he had befriended.
