1 Kings 13:7 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 13:7

5 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

6 Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please ^aentreat the favor of the Lord your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God entreated the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and became as before.

7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and ^aI will give you a reward.”

8 But the man of God said to the king, ^a“If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place.

9 For so it was commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying, ^a‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.’ ”
