• At Bethel there was an old prophet who was not living there by command of the Lord, for the Lord was not using him in His service, but he was living there with his family. Perhaps, we might even say probably, he had nothing to do with Jeroboam’s false religion, but his presence alone at Bethel sanctioned what was going on there, a thing which the prophet from Judah understood. (“The Man of God and the Old Prophet of Bethel: 1 Kings 13” by H.L. Rossier)
• The result of this association was that he, a prophet, was not in the secret of the thoughts of God. He learns them from others — from his sons who repeat the words of the Lord to him. (“The Man of God and the Old Prophet of Bethel: 1 Kings 13” by H.L. Rossier)
• (1 Kings 13:11-19). What was his interest in acting thus against him? It was this: If the man of God would listen to him, it would be like a divine sanction of his position at Bethel. (“The Man of God and the Old Prophet of Bethel: 1 Kings 13” by H.L. Rossier)
