Allora il primo gli disse: "Poich non hai ubbidito alla voce dellEterno, ecco che appena ti sarai allontanato da me, un leone ti uccider". Cos, non appena si fu allontanato da lui, un leone lo incontr e lo uccise.
Ma colui ricusò di percuoterlo. Ed egli disse: Perciocchè tu non hai ubbidito alla voce del Signore, ecco, quando tu te ne andrai d’appresso a me, un leone ti ucciderà . E quando egli si fu partito d’appresso a lui, un leone lo scontrò, e l’uccise.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said he unto him, because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord,.... In not smiting him; which, if he was a prophet, he must know how great an evil it was to disregard or disobey what was said by a prophet in his name; he must be inexcusable:
behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.
And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him; which may seem severe, yet being an act of disobedience to the command of God, by a prophet of his, was punishable with death.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 36. A lion found him, and slew him. — This seems a hard measure, but there was ample reason for it. This person was also one of the sons of the prophets, and he knew that God frequently delivered his counsels in this way, and should have immediately obeyed; for the smiting could have had no evil in it when God commanded it, and it could be no outrage or injury to his fellow when he himself required him to do it.
