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 While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet.

21 The old prophet cried out to the man of God from Judah, "The Lord said you did not obey him! He said you did not do what the Lord your God commanded you.

22 The Lord commanded you not to eat or drink anything in this place, but you came back and ate and drank. So your body will not be buried in your family grave."

23 After the man of God finished eating and drinking, the prophet put a saddle on his donkey for him, and the man left.

24 As he was traveling home, a lion attacked and killed him. His body lay on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing nearby.
