Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 13:7

13:6 Thy God - Who hath manifested himself to be thy God and friend,in a singular manner; and therefore will hear thy prayers for me, thoughhe will not regard mine, because I have forsaken him and his worship.Besought - To assure Jeroboam, that what he had said, was not fromill - will to him, and that he heartily desired his reformation, and not hisruin. Restored - Because he repented of that violence, which he intendedagainst that prophet, for which God inflicted it: and that this goodnessof God to him, might have led him to repentance; or, if he continuedimpenitent, leave him without excuse.

13:9 For so, &c. - My refusal of thy favour, is not from any contempt,or hatred of thy person; but in obedience to the just command of my God,who hath forbidden me all father converse or communication with thee.Eat nor drink - In that place, or with that people. Whereby God declares,how detestable they were in God's eyes; because they were vile apostatesfrom the true God, and embraced this idol - worship, against the light oftheir own consciences, merely to comply with the king's humour and command.Nor turn - That by thy avoiding the way that led thee to Beth - el asexecrable, although thou wentest by my special command, thou mightest teachall others, how much they should abhor that way, and all thoughts of goingto that place, or to such people, upon any unnecessary occasion.
