Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 13:10


13:9 For so, &c. - My refusal of thy favour, is not from any contempt,or hatred of thy person; but in obedience to the just command of my God,who hath forbidden me all father converse or communication with thee.Eat nor drink - In that place, or with that people. Whereby God declares,how detestable they were in God's eyes; because they were vile apostatesfrom the true God, and embraced this idol - worship, against the light oftheir own consciences, merely to comply with the king's humour and command.Nor turn - That by thy avoiding the way that led thee to Beth - el asexecrable, although thou wentest by my special command, thou mightest teachall others, how much they should abhor that way, and all thoughts of goingto that place, or to such people, upon any unnecessary occasion.

13:11 A prophet - One to whom, and by whom God did sometimes impart hismind; as it is manifest from ver.#20|, 21, and one that had a respect tothe Lord's holy prophets, and gave credit to their predictions: but whetherhe was a good man, may be doubted, seeing we find him in a downright lie,ver.#18|. And altho' an holy prophet may possibly have continued in thekingdom of Israel, he would never have gone from his own habitation,to dwell at Beth - el, the chief seat of idolatry, unless with design topreach against it: which it is evident he did not; his sons seem to havebeen present at, and, and to have joined with others in that idolatrousworship.
