• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21And he - That is, according to the above interpretation, the voice of God from heaven addressing the man of God, the old prophet having nothing to do in this business.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 21Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord - It was his duty not to have suffered himself to be persuaded.
