1 Kings 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:7

And the king said unto the man of God, come home with me, and
refresh thyself
By eating a meal with him, after such a journey he had taken, and delivered his prophecies, and put up his prayers for the king:

and I will give thee a reward;
for his prayers, by means of which his hand was restored to him; but takes no notice of the Lord, the author of this miraculous cure, nor expresses the least degree of thankfulness and gratitude to him.

1 Kings 13:7 In-Context

5 altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini

6 et ait rex ad virum Dei deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui et ora pro me ut restituatur manus mea mihi oravit vir Dei faciem Domini et reversa est manus regis ad eum et facta est sicut prius fuerat

7 locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei veni mecum domum ut prandeas et dabo tibi munera

8 responditque vir Dei ad regem si dederis mihi mediam partem domus tuae non veniam tecum nec comedam panem neque bibam aquam in loco isto

9 sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini praecipientis non comedes panem neque bibes aquam nec reverteris per viam qua venisti
