Melachim Alef 13:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:8

And the man of God said unto the king
In answer to his civility to him, to assure him it was not out of contempt to him, or ill will to him, or slight of his favour, but in obedience to the will of God:

if thou wilt give half of thine house;
of the riches in it, and even of his kingdom:

I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in
this place;
this idolatrous place; the reason follows.

Melachim Alef 13:8 In-Context

6 And HaMelech answered and said unto the Ish HaElohim, Intercede now before the face of Hashem Eloheicha, and daven for me, that my yad may be restored to me. And the Ish HaElohim made intercessory prayer before Hashem, and the yad HaMelech was restored to him, and became as it was before.

7 And HaMelech said unto the Ish HaElohim, Come with me habaytah (home), and have seudah, and I will give thee a mattat (gift).

8 And the Ish HaElohim said unto HaMelech, If thou wilt give me half thine bais, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat lechem nor drink mayim in this makom;

9 For so was it charged me by the Devar Hashem, saying, Eat no lechem, nor drink mayim, nor return again by the same derech that thou camest.

10 So he went another derech, and returned not by the derech that he came to Beit-El.
