Contextual Overview
23 And after he ate bread and after he drank, it happened that he saddled the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 And he left, and a lion found him in the way and killed him; and his carcass was thrown down in the way, and the ass was standing near it, and the lion was standing near the carcass. 25 And behold, men were passing by and saw the carcass thrown in the way, and the lion standing near the carcass; and they came and spoke of it in the city in which the old prophet lived. 26 And the prophet who brought him back out of the way heard and said, It is the man of God who provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and Jehovah gave him to the lion, and it tore him apart and killed him, according to the Word of Jehovah that He spoke to him. 27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the ass for me. And they saddled. 28 And he went and found the carcass thrown down in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing near the carcass; the lion had not eaten the carcass nor had he torn apart the ass. 29 And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God and placed it on the ass, and brought it back; and the old prophet came into the city to mourn and to bury him. 30 And he placed his carcass in his own grave, and they mourned for him, O my brother! 31 And it happened, after he buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, At my death, you shall bury me in the burying place in which the man of God is buried; place my bones beside his bones; 32 for the word that he cried by the Word of Jehovah concerning the altar in Bethel, and concerning all the houses of the high places that are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely occur.

and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt; which was Bethel, by which means he came to have knowledge of it.
