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 the Lord came to the old prophet,
21 and he cried out to the prophet from Judah, "The Lord says that you disobeyed him and did not do what he commanded.
22 Instead, you returned and ate a meal in a place he had ordered you not to eat in. Because of this you will be killed, and your body will not be buried in your family grave."
23 After they had finished eating, the old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet from Judah,
24 who rode off. On the way a lion met him and killed him. His body lay on the road, and the donkey and the lion stood beside it.
