So the divided kingdom was ultimately from God (1 Kgs. 12:24). And it would appear that the lion that killed the man of God in 1 Kgs. 13:24 was also from God as recompense for his disobedience to God's word. What's instructive here is how the immediate and broader contexts must be called to mind to conclude that the lion was sent by God. The snapshot (either the verse or paragraph, or if you were there without a biblical worldview) would simply picture a lion mauling a man. And why would any suppose that this was God's doing?
