列王纪上 13:34 CUVS

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 13:34

1 Kings 13:34. And this thing became sin— Nothing can be more striking than the blindness and ingratitude of Jeroboam. Instead of relying on the promises which God had made him, to preserve the kingdom in his family, if he continued faithful; and fearing lest his subjects should forsake him if they went to sacrifice at Jerusalem; out of a false policy he set up an idolatrous worship in his kingdom, which occasioned the ruin of his family, and, at last, the ruin of the kingdom of the ten tribes.... read more

Jeroboam’s continued apostasy 13:33-34The prophecy of God’s judgment on Jeroboam and its signs (1 Kings 13:4-5) did not lead the king to repentance. The most serious aspect of his apostate system was his disregard for what God had required concerning Israel’s priesthood (1 Kings 13:33). By instituting his new priestly system, Jeroboam became responsible for its continuing practice in Israel, which eventually resulted in the Assyrian captivity of Israel (1 Kings 13:34). read more

The Disobedient Prophet2. Josiah] for the fulfilment see 2 Kings 23:15-20. Some 300 years separated the prediction from the event, and the mention by name of the king destined to accomplish it is unlike the methods of Hebrew prophecy in general. It is possible that the records upon which the present account is based were less precise, and that Josiah’s name was introduced by the compiler of the book of Kings, who lived after Josiah’s time and was familiar with what he had done.

(34) And this thing.—The comment of the author of the book, evidently based on the prophetic denunciation of Ahijah in 1 Kings 14:9-11, and its subsequent fulfilment. (See 1 Kings 15:25-30.) read more

The Disobedient Prophet 1 Kings 13:26 I. Jeroboam had just successfully completed his idolatrous stroke of policy. He had set up a form of religion which, however much it might offend against God's truth, had at least this merit in his eyes, that it would strike a great blow against the established Church at Jerusalem, and be a serious injury to the State religion whose influence he abhorred and whose prestige more than anything else he dreaded as a dangerous political menace to his separatist... read more

JEROBOAM AND THE MAN OF GOD1 Kings 13:1-34 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God."- 1 John 4:1WE are told that Jeroboam, whose position probably made him restless and insecure, first built or fortified Shechem, and then went across the Jordan and established another palace and stronghold at Penuel. After this he shifted his residence once more to the beautiful town of Tirzah, where he built for himself the palace which Zimri afterwards burnt over his... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:1-34

A SOLEMN MESSAGE FROM GOD (vs.1-10) God would not leave Jereboam without clear witness to God's abhorrence of the evil that Jereboam had introduced in Israel. The Lord sent a man of God from Judah to Bethel at a time that Jereboam was using his altar to burn incense (v.1). The prophet addressed the altar with a strong voice, "Thus says the Lord, Behold a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David, and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 13:1-34

EARLY DAYS OF TWO KINGDOMS CAUSE OF THE DIVISION (1 Kings 12:1-25 ) 1 Kings 12:2-4 look as though there were a preconcerted purpose to revolt, and yet who can tell what a different history might have followed had the new king heeded wiser counsel? Note the reason of the protest, which was not Solomon’s idolatry and the heathenism he introduced, but their financial burdens; their civil oppression, rather than their religious wrongs. It is still so, and political reform looks only on the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 13:1-34

1 Kings 13:0 This chapter opens with a strange incident. A man of God came out of Judah by the express command of God, and when he came to Bethel, behold Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And the man of God having been told what to do cried against the altar and said, "O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall... read more
