Contextual Overview
11Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him everything that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 12Their father asked them, "Which way did he go?" For his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone. 13He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it, 14and he went after the man of God. And he found him sitting under an oak (terebinth) tree, and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am."15Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread." 16He said, "I cannot return with you nor go in with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17"For I was told by the word of the LORD, 'You shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor shall you return by going the way that you came.'" 18He answered him, "I too am a prophet, as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him. 19So the man of God went back with him, and ate bread in his house and drank water. 20Now it happened as they were sitting at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back.

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 δενδÏÏ Î±Î¶ÎµÎ¹Î½.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Under an oak - literally, âunder the oak,â or âthe terebinth-tree.â 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.
