11 Now there dwelt H3427 an H259 old H2205 prophet H5030 in Bethel; H1008 and his sons H1121 came H935 and told H5608 him all the works H4639 that the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel: H1008 the words H1697 which he had spoken H1696 unto the king, H4428 them they told H5608 also to their father. H1
And he said, H559 Let him alone; H3240 let no man H376 move H5128 his bones. H6106 So they let his bones H6106 alone, H4422 with the bones H6106 of the prophet H5030 that came out H935 of Samaria. H8111
And God H430 met H7136 Balaam: H1109 and he said H559 unto him, I have prepared H6186 seven H7651 altars, H4196 and I have offered H5927 upon every altar H4196 a bullock H6499 and a ram. H352 And the LORD H3068 put H7760 a word H1697 in Balaam's H1109 mouth, H6310 and said, H559 Return H7725 unto Balak, H1111 and thus thou shalt speak. H1696
And it came to pass, when all that knew H3045 him beforetime H865 H8032 saw H7200 that, behold, he prophesied H5012 among the prophets, H5030 then the people H5971 said H559 one H376 to another, H7453 What is this that is come unto the son H1121 of Kish? H7027 Is Saul H7586 also among the prophets? H5030
And it came to pass, as they sat H3427 at the table, H7979 that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came unto the prophet H5030 that brought him back: H7725 And he cried H7121 unto the man H376 of God H430 that came H935 from Judah, H3063 saying, H559 Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Forasmuch as H3282 thou hast disobeyed H4784 the mouth H6310 of the LORD, H3068 and hast not kept H8104 the commandment H4687 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 commanded H6680 thee,
Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 against the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 that prophesy, H5012 and say H559 thou unto them that prophesy H5030 out of their own hearts, H3820 Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068
To wit, the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 which prophesy H5012 concerning Jerusalem, H3389 and which see H2374 visions H2377 of peace H7965 for her, and there is no peace, H7965 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
Many G4183 will say G2046 to me G3427 in G1722 that G1565 day, G2250 Lord, G2962 Lord, G2962 have we G4395 not G3756 prophesied G4395 in thy G4674 name? G3686 and G2532 in thy G4674 name G3686 have cast out G1544 devils? G1140 and G2532 in thy G4674 name G3686 done G4160 many G4183 wonderful works? G1411

Chapter 13
In the close of the foregoing chapter we left Jeroboam attending his altar at Beth-el, and there we find him in the beginning of this, when he received a testimony from God against his idolatry and apostasy. This was sent to him by a prophet, a man of God that lived in Judah, who is the principal subject of the story of this chapter, where we are told,
1Ki 13:1-10
Here is,
1Ki 13:11-22
The man of God had honestly and resolutely refused the king's invitation, though he promised him a reward; yet he was over-persuaded by an old prophet to come back with him, and dine in Beth-el, contrary to the command given him. Here we find how dearly his dinner cost him. Observe with wonder,
