Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 13:28


13:28 He found, &c. - Here was a concurrence of miracles: that the assdid not run away from the lion, according to his nature, but boldly stoodstill, as reserving himself to carry the prophet to his burial; that thelion did not devour its prey, nor yet go away when he had done his work,but stood still, partly to preserve the carcase of the prophet from otherwild beasts or fowls, partly, as an evidence that the prophet's death wasnot casual, nor the effect of a lion's ravenous disposition, but of God'ssingular and just judgment; and consequently, that his prediction wasdivine, and should be infallibly accomplished in its proper time; andpartly, as a token of God's favour to the deceased prophet, of whose verycarcase he took such special care: thereby signifying, that although forwise and just reasons he thought fit to take away his life, yet his remainswas precious to him.
