1 Kings 13:22

22 you came back and sat down to a good meal in the very place God told you, 'Don't eat a crumb; don't drink a drop.' For that you're going to die far from home and not be buried in your ancestral tomb."

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.

1 Kings 13:22 In-Context

20 There they were, sitting at the table together, when the word of God came to the prophet who had brought him back.
21 He confronted the holy man who had come from Judah: "God's word to you: You disobeyed God's command; you didn't keep the strict orders your God gave you;
22 you came back and sat down to a good meal in the very place God told you, 'Don't eat a crumb; don't drink a drop.' For that you're going to die far from home and not be buried in your ancestral tomb."
23 When the meal was over, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his donkey for him.
24 Down the road a way, a lion met him and killed him. His corpse lay crumpled on the road, the lion on one side and the donkey on the other.
