1 Kings 13:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:26

And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard
thereof
The old prophet, that had deceived him, by telling him a lie: he said, it is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the
Lord;
but not a syllable does he say of his own sin in deceiving him; though one would think his own conscience must smite him for it: therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn
him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake
unto him;
and that by himself, ( 1 Kings 13:21 1 Kings 13:22 ) .
