the word of the Lord."A great clamour," says Dr. Kennicott, "has been raised against this part of history, on account of God's denouncing sentence on the true prophet by the mouth of the false prophet; but if we examine with attention the original words here, they will be found to signify either he who brought him back, or, whom he had brought back; for the very same words, {asher heshivo,} occur again, ver. 23, where they are now translated, whom he had brought back; and where they cannot be translated otherwise.
This being the case, we are at liberty to consider the words of the Lord as delivered to the true prophet, thus brought back; and then the sentence is pronounced by God himself, calling to him out of heaven, as in Ge 22:11.
And that this doom was thus pronounced by God, not by the false prophet, we are assured in ver. 26.
'The Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, according to the word of the Lord, which He spake unto him.'
Josephus [and also the Arabic] asserts, that the sentence was declared by God to the true prophet."

 17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
 18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
 19Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
 20And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

• The old prophet is severely chastised for his lie (1 Kings 13:20-22), for he becomes God’s instrument to pronounce, against his will, the condemnation of his brother who had trusted in his word. He is obliged to judge in another the evil which he himself had committed. (“The Man of God and the Old Prophet of Bethel: 1 Kings 13” by H.L. Rossier)
