What does 1 Kings 20:36 mean?

The prophet told him, 'Because you didn’t listen to God, a lion will kill you when you leave.' As soon as the man left, a lion attacked and killed him. 1 Kings 20:36 - Modern Text Bible

(The refusal has serious consequences. The man’s death by a lion shows how seriously God takes obedience, even in strange situations.)
