John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 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 apostates from the true God, and embraced this idol — worship, against the light of their 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 as execrable, although thou wentest by my special command, thou mightest teach all others, how much they should abhor that way, and all thoughts of going to that place, or to such people, upon any unnecessary occasion.
