Context of 1 Kings 13:19
17When the Lord spoke to me, he told me not to eat or drink there or go back on the road I took to get there.” 18The old prophet said, “I’m also a prophet, like you. An angel spoke the Lord’s word to me. He said, ‘Bring him home with you so that he may have something to eat and drink.’ ” (But the old prophet was lying.) The man of God went back with him and ate and drank in his home. 20When they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet who had brought back the man of God. 21The Lord also called to the man of God. He said, “This is what the Lord says: You rebelled against the words from the Lord’s mouth and didn’t obey the command that the Lord your God gave you.

- 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. When the change took place under Jeroboam, he preferred his ease and interest to his religion. He took a very bad method to bring the good prophet back. It was all a lie.

We may wonder that the wicked prophet went unpunished, while the holy man of God was suddenly and severely…Read the comment
