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 As they were sitting at the table, the word of ADONAI came to the prophet who had brought him back;
21 and he cried to the man of God who had come from Y'hudah, "Here is what ADONAI says: 'Since you rebelled against the word of ADONAI and didn't obey the mitzvah ADONAI your God gave you,
22 but came back and ate food and drank water in the place where he warned you not to eat food or drink water, your corpse will not arrive at the tomb of your ancestors."
23 After he had eaten food and drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet he had brought back.
24 But after he had gone, a lion encountered the man of God on the road and killed him. His corpse lay there in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing next to it.
