The Death of the Man of God

The Death of the Man of God
1 Kings 13; Chinese Bible, Old Testament, p. 545-546

And behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the word
of Jehovah to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the
altar to make offerings.
(1 Kings 13.1)

(1 Kings 13:2, CB OT p. 545)
“O altar, altar,
thus says Jehovah: ‘Behold, a
son shall be born to the house of David,
Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on
you the priests of the high places who
make offerings on you, and human
bones shall be burned on you.’”

“This is the sign
that Jehovah has spoken:
‘Behold, the altar shall be torn down, and
the ashes that are on it shall be
poured out.’”
(1 Kings 13:3, CB OT p. 545)

(1 Kings 13:4, CB OT p. 545)
“Seize him”

(1 Kings 13:6, CB OT p. 545)
“Entreat now
the favor of Jehovah your God, and
pray for me, that my hand may be
restored to me.”

(1 Kings 13:7, CB OT p. 545-546)
“Come home with
me, and refresh yourself, and I will
give you a reward.”

(1 Kings 13:8-9, CB OT p. 546)
“Come home with
me, and refresh yourself, and I will
give you a reward.”
“If you give me half your house, I will
not go in with you. And I will not eat
bread or drink water in this place, for
so was it commanded me by the word
of Jehovah, saying, ‘You shall neither
eat bread nor drink water nor return
by the way that you came.’”

(1 Kings 13:10, CB OT p. 546)
So he went another way and did not return by the
way that he came to Bethel.

“Are you the man of God who
came from Judah?”
“I am.”
(1 Kings 13:14, CB OT p. 546)

“Come home with me
and eat bread.”
(1 Kings 13:15, CB OT p. 546)

“I may not
return with you, or go in with
you, neither will I eat bread nor drink
water with you in this place, for it was
said to me by the word of Jehovah, ‘You
shall neither eat bread nor drink water
there, nor return by the way
that you came.’”
(1 Kings 13:16-17, CB OT p. 546)

“I also am a
prophet as you are, and an angel spoke
to me by the word of Jehovah, saying,
‘Bring him back with you into your house
that he may eat bread
and drink water.’” (1 Kings 13:18, CB OT p. 546)

(1 Kings 13:19, CB OT p. 546)
So he went back with him and ate bread in his
house and drank water.

“Thus says Jehovah,
‘Because you have disobeyed the
word of Jehovah and have not kept the
command that Jehovah your God
commanded you, but have come back and
have eaten bread and drunk water in the
place of which he said to you, “Eat no
bread and drink no water,” your body
shall not come to the tomb of
your fathers.’”
(1 Kings 13:21-22, CB OT p. 546)

(1 Kings 13:24, CB OT p. 546)
x
[19] So he went back with him and ate bread in his house and drank water.
And as he went away a lion met him on the road and killed him.
And his body was thrown in the road, and the donkey stood
beside it; the lion also stood beside the body.

And Jesus came and said to them,
“All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me.
(Matthew 28:18, CB NT p. 60)

Rebellion
He went up to the altar that
he had made in Bethel on the
fifteenth day in the eighth
month, in the month that he
had devised from his own
heart.
(1 Kings 12:33, CB OT p. 545)

Reward
And the king said to the man
of God, “Come home with me,
and refresh yourself, and I
will give you a reward.”
(1 Kings 13:7, CB OT p. 545-546)

Reward
They have followed the way
of Balaam, the son of Beor,
who loved gain from
wrongdoing
(2 Peter 2:15, CB NT p. 416)

But the serpent said to the
woman, “You will not surely
die. For God knows that when
you eat of it your eyes will be
opened, and you will be like
God, knowing good and evil.”
(Genesis 3:4, CB OT p. 4)
Reward

Reward
So when the woman saw that
the tree was good for food,
and that it was a delight to
the eyes, and that the tree
was to be desired to make one
wise, she took of its fruit and
ate
(Genesis 3:5-6, CB OT p. 4)

Reward
“Thus, when you give to the
needy, sound no trumpet before
you, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that
they may be praised by others. Truly,
I say to you, they have received their
reward.
(Matthew 6:2, CB NT p. 9)

Deceived
And he said to him, “I also
am a prophet as you are, and
an angel spoke to me by the
word of Jehovah, saying,
‘Bring him back with you into
your house that he may eat
bread and drink water.’” But
he lied to him.
(1 Kings 13:18, CB OT p. 546)

But even if we or an angel from heaven should
preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we
preached to you, let him be accursed.
(Galatians 1:8, CB NT p. 327)

Deceived
Now go and strike Amalek and
devote to destruction all that
they have. Do not spare
them, but kill both man and
woman, child and infant, ox
and sheep, camel and
donkey.’”
(1 Samuel 15:3, CB OT p. 442)

But Saul and the people
spared Agag and the best of
the sheep and of the oxen
and of the fattened calves
and the lambs, and all that
was good, and would not
utterly destroy them. All that
was despised and worthless
they devoted to destruction.
(1 Samuel 15:9, CB OT p. 442)

And Samuel came to Saul, and
Saul said to him, “Blessed be
you to Jehovah. I have
performed the commandment
of Jehovah.”
(1 Samuel 15:13, CB OT p. 442)
Deceived

And Saul said to Samuel, “I
have obeyed the voice of
Jehovah. I have gone on the
mission on which Jehovah sent
me. I have brought Agag the
king of Amalek, and I have
devoted the Amalekites to
destruction.”
(1 Samuel 15:20, CB OT p. 443)
Deceived

But the people took of the
spoil, sheep and oxen, the
best of the things devoted to
destruction, to sacrifice to
Jehovah your God in Gilgal.”
(1 Samuel 15:21, CB OT p. 443)
Deceived

And Samuel said, “Has Jehovah as great delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than
sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For
rebellion is as the sin of divination, and
presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you
have rejected the word of Jehovah, he has also
rejected you from being king.”
(1 Samuel 15:22-23, CB OT p. 443)

Synopsis: In this powerful incident, you will learn three common reasons why men choose to disobey God: rebellion, reward, and being
deceived. The consequences are the same (death), so we must learn to respect God’s word and choose to obey it completely.
“Let all that you do be done with love.”
