Commentary on 1 Kings 13:19

Theological / Devotional

Went back. A messenger of God can never go back from God’s errands and yet be true to the Lord. The prophet had his instructions from God, and had twice voiced them as reasons for refusing to give ear to a contrary call (vs. 8, 9, 16, 17). In going contrary to the express directions from the Lord, he was placing himself on the enemy’s ground, where the Lord could not be with him.
