Commentary on 1 Kings 13:7

Theological / Devotional

A reward. The offer of the king was prompted not by gratitude but by policy. An acceptance of hospitality and reward would in the eyes of the people imply that the prophet condoned the king’s course and would serve to destroy the solemn impression that he had made. He would also have created an unfavorable impression regarding his character and mission.
