John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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.
