Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 13:25

13:23 Saddled for him - But, it is observable, he doth not accompanyhim; his guilty conscience making him fear to be involved in the samejudgment with him.

13:24 Slew him - But why doth God punish a good man so severely for sosmall an offence? His sin was not small, for it was a gross disobedienceto a positive command. And it cannot seem strange if God should bring hisdeserved death upon him in this manner, for the accomplishment of his ownglorious designs, to vindicate his own justice from the imputation ofpartiality; to assure the truth of his predictions, and thereby provokeJeroboam and his idolatrous followers to repentance; and to justifyhimself in all his dreadful judgments which he intended to inflict uponJeroboam's house, and the whole kingdom of Israel.
