9<\/strong>. nor turn again by the<\/em> same way<\/em> ] There is nothing in the original for ‘same’. Therefore the R.V. is more close to the text, in giving neither return by the way<\/strong> as in the following verse in A. V. The injunction to go back by another way was given lest after what happened in Bethel those who had seen him coming might try to detain him and he be thus tempted to lessen the effect of his mission. The refusal to eat and the hurried departure were to shew how the Lord was grieved at the national sin.<\/p>\n Eat no bread, nor drink water – <\/B>The reason of the command is evident. The man of God was not to accept the hospitality of any dweller at Bethel, in order to show in a marked way, which men generally could appreciate, Gods abhorrence of the system which Jeroboam had devised of his own heart.<\/P> Nor turn again by the same way that thou camest – <\/B>This command seems to have been given simply to test the obedience of the prophet by laying him under a positive as well as a moral obligation.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>. For so it was charged me – Eat no bread, c.<\/B><\/I>] That is, Have no kind of communication with those idolaters. He was charged also not to return by the way that he came probably lest the account of what was done should have reached the ears of any of the people through whom he had passed<\/I>, and he suffer inconveniences on the account, either by persecution from the idolaters, or from curious people delaying him, in order to cause him to give an account of the transactions which took place at Beth-el. This is a reason why he should not return by the same way; but what the<\/I> reason of this part of the charge was, if not the above, is not easy to see.<\/P> <\/p>\n 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 further converse or communication with thee. <\/P> Eat no bread, nor drink water, <\/B>to wit, in that place, or with that people; whereby God declares how detestable they were in Gods eyes; not because their idolatry was so bad as that of the heathens, but because they were vile apostates from the true God, and embraced this idolworship against the light of their own consciences, merely to comply with the kings humour and command; and because their vicinity and relation to the tribe of Judah made this more dangerous, as to their infection by it. <\/P> Nor turn again by the same way that thou camest; <\/B>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 trivial and unnecessary occasion. <\/P> <\/p>\n For so it was charged me by the word of the Lord<\/strong>,…. The command of the Lord, by which he came to Bethel, and cried against the altar there, 1Ki 13:1<\/span><\/p>\n saying, eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest<\/strong>: signifying that no communion was to be had with idolaters, nor any example to be set and followed; but the way to them, and to their idolatry, was to be shunned and avoided.<\/p>\n (9) Nor turn again . . .<\/strong>The significance of this command is less obvious. It may have meant that he should not suffer the way of his return (which would clearly not be the obvious way) to be known, but should vanish swiftly, like the messenger of Elisha to Jehu (2Ki. 9:3<\/span>; 2Ki. 9:10<\/span>), when his work was done. If so, his neglect of the spirit of the command was the first step in the way of his destruction.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> Eat no bread nor turn again by the same way <\/strong> He must have no fellowship or communion with their works of darkness, not so much as even to eat and drink with them. Then he must also “deliver his message, as it were, in transitu as he passes along. <\/em> He shall not seem to be sent on purpose, but as if he only called by the way, his spirit being stirred, like Paul’s at Athens, as he passed and saw their devotions. God would, by this command, try his prophet, as he did Ezekiel, whether he would not be rebellious like that rebellious house.” Eze 2:8<\/span>.
