The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 13:11-34

The Prophet Punished for his Disobedience v. 11. Now, there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel, a member of the great brotherhood of prophets found in Israel since the time of Samuel, who had, however, joined the forces of Jeroboam; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel, one son after the other coming forward to give his account; the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. v. 12. And their father said... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 13:20-34

Sign upon Sign Unheeded 1 Kings 13:20-34 There is a tragic note in this paragraph. The man of God had performed God’s errand bravely and well, and his words were verified by the result; but he perished as a castaway. See 1 Corinthians 9:27 . If only he had obeyed God’s word, as it came directly to himself, he might have been entrusted with many similar errands; but “Alas, my brother!” was a true elegy on the part of the man who had led to his downfall. How careful we should be never to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 13:1-34

In this chapter are two lessons of supreme value; first, the patient grace of God, and, second, the solemn responsibility of such as bear His message. The first of these is brought out in the story of Jeroboam. While he stood at the altar which his sin had erected he was rebuked and smitten. This was really his opportunity for repentance. His heart, however, was set on sin, and therefore he manifested no genuine repentance, but only a selfish desire for healing. Thus the opportunity for... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 13:1-25

THE PROPHET OF JUDAH‘The prophet of Judah.’ 1 Kings 13:1-Lamentations : The altar at Beth-el was an ill-omened altar. The shadow of ruin was on it from the first. On the very morning of its inauguration, when Jeroboam stood with the incense ready, an unknown prophet of Judah strode forward from the crowd—and what a thrill ran through the people! He seemed to see nobody, not even the king. His eye was riveted upon the altar. He cried to it, ‘O altar, altar!’ and foretold that a child should be... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:1-34

The Kingdom In Crisis And The Collapse Of An Empire (1 Kings 12:1 to 1 Kings 14:31 ). The death of Solomon, as always with the death of a king who had ruled powerfully for a long time and had been somewhat autocratic, resulted in hopes being raised among the people that things might now be made better for them. Indeed they appear to have been quite satisfied with the thought of Rehoboam being their king, as long as he would meet them halfway, and they actually gathered at Shechem to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:11-32

The Old Prophet And The Man Of God (1 Kings 13:11-32 ). Meanwhile dwelling in Bethel was an old prophet who had served YHWH for many years. The fact that he was not present at the celebrations taking place at the Sanctuary, but rather sent his sons, indicates that he was very old. He was no longer actively involved as a prophet. But when he learned from his sons what the man of God from Judah had done, and the words that he had spoken, he was clearly concerned. He felt that it was his duty as... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:1-34

1 Kings 12:25 to 1 Kings 13:34 . The Sin of Jeroboam. The Prophet at Bethel.— The sources cannot be exactly determined. Some (see Cent.B) may belong to the annals of the northern kingdom, but the tone is decidedly Deuteronomic. The prophet’ s message to Jeroboam is certainly late.Jeroboam’ s first act as recorded was to build or fortify Shechem ( 1 Kings 12:25). Then for some reason he transferred his seat of government to the E. of Jordan to Penuel. Possibly he was hard pressed by his former... read more
