NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “and he said to him.” 2 tn Heb “by the word of the 3 tn Heb “eat food and drink water.” 4 tn Or “deceiving him.” 4 sn He was lying to him. The motives and actions of the old prophet are difficult to understand. The old man’s response to the prophet’s death (see vv. 26-32) suggests he did not trick him with malicious intent. The old prophet probably wanted the honor of entertaining such a celebrity, or perhaps simply desired some social interaction with a fellow prophet. |
