Contextual Overview

¹¹ Now an old prophet was living in Bethel. His sons came and told him what the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what he had said to King Jeroboam. ¹² The father asked, "Which road did he use when he left?" So his sons showed him the road the man of God from Judah had taken. ¹³ Then the prophet told his sons to put a saddle on his donkey. So they saddled the donkey, and he left. ¹⁴ He went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. The prophet asked, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" The man answered, "Yes, I am." ¹⁵ The prophet said, "Please come home and eat with me." ¹⁶ "I can't go home with you," the man of God answered. "I can't eat or drink with you in this place. ¹⁷ The Lord said to me, ‘Don't eat or drink anything there or return on the same road by which you came.'" ¹⁸ Then the old prophet said, "But I also am a prophet like you." Then he told a lie. He said, "An angel from the Lord came to me and told me to bring you to my home. He said you should eat and drink with me." ¹⁹ So the man of God went to the old prophet's house, and he ate and drank with him there. ²⁰ While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak,.... To shelter him from the heat, and being faint, hungry, and thirsty; so the ancients of old made use of oaks for a covering, before houses were invented e; thus Abraham pitched his tent in the plain, or under the oak, of Mamre, Genesis 13:18

and he said unto him, art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? which he might guess at from his habit, and from the description his sons had given of him:

and he said, I am; owned himself to be the person he inquired after.

e Suidas in voce δενδρυαζειν.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Under an oak - literally, “under the oak,” or “the terebinth-tree.” There was a single well-known tree of the kind, standing by itself in the vicinity of Bethel, which the author supposed his readers to be acquainted with.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 13:14. And went after the man of God — I can hardly think that this was with any evil design. His sons had given him such an account of the prediction, the power, and influence of this prophet, that he wished to have a particular acquaintance with him, in order that he might get farther information relative to the solemn import of the prophecy which he had denounced against the idolatry at Beth-el. This good man could not have been an object of the old prophet's malevolence.
