1 Kings 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:22

But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in
the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, eat no bread, nor
drink no water
Which command he observed when first there, though invited by the king; and yet, after he had got out of the place, was prevailed upon to return and transgress the command: thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers;
signifying that he should die before he came to the land of Judah, and he should be buried in another place, and which was verified.

20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back,

21 and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus hath the LORD said, Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the mouth of the LORD and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

22 but didst come back and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

23 And when he had eaten of the bread and after he had drunk, the prophet that had brought him back saddled an ass for him,

24 and as he went, a lion met him by the way and slew him, and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, and the lion also stood by the carcase.
