13:1 Jeroboam's hand withers,
13:6 and at the prayer of the prophet is restored;
13:7 The prophet departs from Beth-el;
13:11 An old prophet brings him back;
13:20 He is reproved by God,
13:23 slain by a lion,
13:26 buried by the old prophet,
13:31 who confirms his prophecy;
13:33 Jeroboam's obstinacy.

but if we examine with attention the original words here, they will be found to signify either he who brought him back, or, whom he had brought back; for the very same words, asher heshivo, occur again, 1 Kings 13:23, where they are now translated, whom he had brought back; and where they cannot be translated otherwise. This being the case, we are at liberty to consider the words of the Lord as delivered to the true prophet, thus brought back; and then the sentence is pronounced by God himself, calling to him out of heaven, as in Genesis 22:11. And that this doom was thus pronounced by God, not by the false prophet, we are assured in 1 Kings 13:26. The Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, according to the word of the Lord, which He spake unto him.' Josephus (and also the Arabic) asserts, that the sentence was declared by God to the true prophet."

The lion, though he had killed the man, yet, contrary to his nature, did not devour him, nor tear the ass, nor meddle with the travellers that passed by; while the ass stood quietly by, not fearing the lion, nor betaking himself to flight: both stood as guardians of the fallen prophet, till this extraordinary intelligence was carried into the city which rendered the miracle the more illustrious and plainly shewed that this event did not happen by chance. This concatenation of miracles marked the death of the man of God as a Divine rebuke for his disobedience in eating bread at idolatrous Beth-el; and here we see, as in various other cases, that "often judgment begins at the house of God." The true prophet, for suffering himself to be seduced by the old prophet, and for receiving that as a revelation from God which was opposed to the revelation which himself had received, and which was confirmed by so many miracles, is slain by a lion, and his body deprived of the burial of his fathers; while the wicked king and the fallen prophet are both permitted to live. 1 Kings 17:4, 17:6; Leviticus 10:2, 10:5; Job 38:11; Psalm 148:7, 148:8; Jeremiah 5:22, 5:23; Daniel 3:22, 3:27, 3:28, 6:22-24; Acts 16:26; Habakkuk 3:1, 3:1 tornHeb. broken
