Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 13:21
And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
21. as thou hast disobeyed ] The expression is precisely the same as in 1Ki 13:26 below. There the A.V. has ‘disobedient unto’, and for the sake of consistency that rendering has been adopted here by R.V. ‘as thou hast been disobedient unto’. A very frequent translation is ‘to rebel against the word of the Lord’. See margin of R.V.

Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord – It was his duty not to have suffered himself to be persuaded. He should have felt that his obedience was being tried, and should have required, ere he considered himself released, the same, or as strong, evidence, as that on which he had received the obligation. Disobedience to certain positive commands of God, was one which it was at this time very important to punish signally, since it was exactly the sin of Jeroboam and his adherents.

He cried with a loud voice, the effect of his passion, both for his own guilt and shame, and for the prophets approaching misery, and his unhappy influence both in procuring and in denouncing of it.
The mouth, i.e. the word of command coming out of his mouth; a metonymy of the cause for the effect.

And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah,…. His mind being greatly affected with the word brought to him, partly on his own account, who, by a lie his conscience must accuse him of, had been the means of seducing the man of God, and partly on his account, who was threatened with death for complying with him:
saying, thus saith the Lord; being obliged to deliver, in the name of the Lord, what was said unto him:
forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord; the order that came out of his mouth, as follows:
and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee; not to eat nor drink in Bethel.

disobeyed = rebelled against. The same expression used of Moses and Aaron at Meribah (Num 20:24; Num 27:14). Safety found only in the path of obedience. Compare 1Ki 13:26.
