Because Jeroboam built high places and instituted false priests, God decreed that the priests themselves would be sacrificed on their false altar. The message was delivered by a prophet of God who was commanded to afterwards leave immediately and eat no bread and drink no water. He obeyed and another prophet of God found him and lied to him luring him back to his house for dinner. Because the prophet did not heed God's command he was devoured by a lion and buried in the tomb of the prophet who deceived him.
