1 Kings 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:13

And he said unto his sons, saddle me the ass
Which he used to ride on; intimating he had a mind to ride after him, and overtake him, as he might reasonably think he might, since the man of God was on foot:

so they saddled him the ass, and he rode thereon;
after the man of God, taking the way his sons directed.

1 Kings 13:13 In-Context

11 At that time there was an old prophet living in Bethel. His sons came and told him what the prophet from Judah had done in Bethel that day and what he had said to King Jeroboam.
12 "Which way did he go when he left?" the old prophet asked them. They showed him the road
13 and he told them to saddle his donkey for him. They did so, and he rode off
14 down the road after the prophet from Judah and found him sitting under an oak tree. "Are you the prophet from Judah?" he asked. "I am," the man answered.
15 "Come home and have a meal with me," he said.
