Context of 1 Kings 13:19
17The Lord commanded me, “You must not eat or drink anything there. You must not return home on the same road that you came on.” ’ 18The old prophet then said, ‘I am also a prophet, as you are. An angel gave me a message from the Lord. He said, “Bring the man back with you to your house. There, he can eat some food and drink some water.” ’ But what the old prophet said was a lie. So God's servant went back with him and he ate and drank in his house. 20While they were sitting together to eat, the Lord gave a message to the old prophet. 21He spoke this message to the servant of God who had come from Judah: ‘This is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed the Lord. You have not done what the Lord your God commanded you to do.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19So he went back with him - He permitted himself to be imposed on; he might have thought, as he had accomplished every purpose for which God sent him, and had actually begun to return by another way, God, who had given him the charge, had authority to say, "As thy purpose was to obey every injunction, even to the letter, I now permit thee to go with this old prophet, and take some refreshment."

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-22Verses 11-22 The old prophet's conduct proves that he was not really a godly man.

Believers are most in danger of being drawn from their duty by plausible pretences of holiness. We may wonder that the wicked prophet went unpunished, while the holy man of God was suddenly and severely…Read the comment
