Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 13:23-34

Here is, I. The death of the deceived disobedient prophet. The old prophet that had deluded him, as if he would make him some amends for the wrong he had done him or help to prevent the mischief threatened him, furnished him with an ass to ride home on; but by the way a lion set upon him, and killed him, 1 Kgs. 13:23, 24. He did but return back to refresh himself when he was hungry, and behold he must die for it; see 1 Sam. 14:43. But we must consider, 1. That his offence was great, and it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 13:32

For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel ,.... That the priests should be offered on it, and men's bones be burnt upon it; for as for its being rent, and the ashes of it poured out, that had been done already: and against all the houses of the high places which are in Samaria, shall surely come to pass : by which it appears that there were temples, and high places, and altars built in other parts of the kingdom besides Dan and Bethel, of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 13:33

After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way ,.... From the idolatrous practices he had started, and was establishing; though he had seen his altar rent, and the ashes poured out as the man of God predicted, his own hand withered, and that restored again upon the prayer of the prophet; and though he had heard of the death he died for his disobedience to the command of God, and the several marvellous things that attended it; these were so far from reforming him, that he seemed to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:32

In the cities of Samaria - It is most certain that Samaria, or as it is called in Hebrew Shomeron, was not built at this time. We are expressly told that Omri, king of Israel, founded this city on the hill which he bought for two talents of silver, from a person of the name of Shemer, after whom he called the city Samaria or Shomeron; (see 1 Kings 16:24 ;); and this was fifty years after the death of Jeroboam. How then could the old prophet speak of Samaria, not then in existence,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 13:33

Jeroboam returned not from his evil way - There is something exceedingly obstinate and perverse, as well as blinding and infatuating, in idolatry. The prediction lately delivered at Beth-el, and the miracles wrought in confirmation of it, were surely sufficient to have affected and alarmed any heart, not wholly and incorrigibly hardened; and yet they had no effect on Jeroboam! Made - the lowest of the people priests - So hardy was this bad man in his idolatry that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 13:23-34

Judgment and its result. I. MERCY DISPLAYED IN THE MIDST OF JUDGMENT . The sin may have been forgiven though the chastisement fell. 1 . His body was preserved from dishonour . The lion's ferocity was bridled; the prophet's body was neither eaten nor torn; he guarded the remains from the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field. 2 . The message he had borne received added weight by his punishment . In his humiliation God was exalted. The circumstances... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 13:30-34

The Law of Extremity. God has made us free to choose or refuse good or evil Will cannot be coerced and yet be free; coercion here, therefore, would be destruction. But while God does not compel us to choose the right, He induces by gracious promises, and admonishes by alternative penalties. Still we remain free to elect the good with its blessings, or the evil with its entailments of misery. But so loth is He to see His creatures wretched that He has opened a way of repentance and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 13:32

For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel; and against all the houses of the high places [At that time there would seem to have been but two "high places." Keil sees "a prophetic element in these words." He thinks the old prophet foresaw that such sanctuaries would be multiplied. Rawlinson gathers, "from the mention of the great high place in 1 Kings 3:4 , that there were many lesser high places in the land," which, no doubt, was the case at the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 13:33

After this thing [calculated though it was to make a deep impression and to furnish a solemn warning] Jeroboam turned not from his evil way. "Some hand was found that durst repair the altar God had rent" (Matthew Henry). According to Josephus, the old prophet now explained away the miracles of the prophet of Judah, alleging that the altar had fallen because it was new and the king's hand had become powerless from fatigue (Ant; 1 Kings 8:9 , § 1)], but made again [Heb. " returned and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 13:32

Against all the houses of the high places - i. e., more than the two high places at Dan and Bethel. There were many lesser high places in the land, several of which would be likely to be in Israel 1 Kings 3:4.In the cities of Samaria - The word Samaria cannot have been employed by the old prophet, in whose days Samaria did not exist 1 Kings 16:24. The writer of Kings has substituted for the term used by him that whereby the country was known in his own day. read more
