1 Kings 13:1–34 Just as Solomon had stood at his altar in Jerusalem (8:22), Jeroboam now stands at the altar of his new temple in Bethel, ready to dedicate it to his gods. However, since this temple does not have God’s blessing, Jeroboam will not even get a chance to speak.
1 Kings 13:2 The prophetic words about the future king Josiah point forward to a time when all the northern Israelite dynasties will have come to an end. Only the house of David will remain to take action against Bethel (2 Kings 22:1–23:30).
1 Kings 13:3–5 Since Josiah’s reign is still a long way off, a sign is also described and then acted out. This indicates that the prophecy is true.
1 Kings 13:7–32 Jeroboam’s invitation to the man of God to dine and receive a reward is an attempt to buy his loyalty, perhaps hoping for the curse on the altar to be reversed. The invitation (v. 15) from the old prophet living in Bethel is an attempt to prevent the destruction of Bethel. Disobedience leads the man of God to an unfortunate end. Even prophets cannot escape if they are disobedient. Samaria is used here for the territory of which the city of Samaria became the capital under Omri, the father of Ahab (16:24).
