But as he was traveling, God sent a lion to kill him.

The lion sprang quickly from the woods, and the man of God yelled loudly in shock as the lion pounced on him and knocked him off the donkey. Adrenaline pumped through his veins as he fought with every ounce of strength he possessed. It was a frantic scene as the man kept his arms high in front of his face to keep his head away from the lion's powerful jaws. Blood-curdling screams could be heard for miles around as the lion tore lumps of flesh from the young man's arms and chest. Blood was everywhere by the time the lion overcame the man of God and it sank it's teeth into his skull.
