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 ) .

1 Kings 13:26 In-Context

24 When he left, a lion found him on the road and killed him, and his dead body [was] thrown on the road with the donkey standing beside it, and the lion [was] standing by the dead body.

25 As men [were] passing by and they saw the dead body thrown in the road and the lion standing beside the dead body, they came and told it in the city where the old prophet [was] living.

26 When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard, he said, "It [is] the man of God who disobeyed the mouth of Yahweh, and Yahweh has given him to the lion. He tore him in pieces and killed him according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken to him."

27 Then he spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled it.

28 He went and found his dead body thrown in the road and a donkey with the lion standing beside it, but the lion had not eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey.
