Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 13:28

28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass, and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass .

Here was a concurrence of Miracles; That the Ass did not run away from the Lion, according to his nature and custom, but boldly stood still, as reserving himself for the carrying of the Prophet to his Burial; that the Lion did not devour its prey, as the manner is; nor yet go away when he had done his work which he was sent for, but stood still, partly, to preserve the Carkass of the Prophet from other wild Beasts or Fowls, which would quickly have eaten it; partly, as an evidence that the Prophet's Death was not casual, nor the effect of a Lions hungry and ravenous disposition, but of Gods singular and just Judgment; and consequently, that his Prediction was Divine, and should be infallibly accomplished in its proper time; and partly, as a token of Gods favour to the deceased Prophet, of whose very Carkass he took such special care: thereby signifying, that although for Wise and Just reasons he thought fit to take away his life, yet his remains were precious to him, and his Soul did live in his sight.
