John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 13:25

"And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt." — 1 Kings 13:25 (ASV)

And, behold, men passed by Travellers on the road; nor did the lion offer to seize on them, nor desert the carcass upon their approach:

and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass ; as before described:

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.
