Josiah knew ([2 Kings 23:17](../../../kjv/2-kings/23/17) , [2 Kings 23:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/23/18) ). Cyrus knew ( 2Ch 36:22 , [2 Chronicles 36:23](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/36/23) .[Isaiah 44:28](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/28); [Isaiah 44:28](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/28) ). **offer** (in sacrifice) = slay, or slaughter. App-43 . **men's:** human. Hebrew. *'adam* . App-14 . **shall be** . This was fulfilled in [2 Kings 23:16](../../../kjv/2-kings/23/16) (360 years later). **a sign.** We have similar signs in [Exodus 3:12](../../../kjv/exodus/3/12) .

See note on [Exodus 10:28](../../../kjv/exodus/10/28) . **thy God.** He dare not say "my God". **half thine house.** Remembering [Numbers 22:18](../../../kjv/numbers/22/18) ; [Numbers 24:13](../../../kjv/numbers/24/13) . **in Beth-el.** A true prophet could not have remained there. Compare [2 Chronicles 11:16](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/11/16) , [2 Chronicles 11:17](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/11/17) . **and his sons.** Septuagint reads "whose sons". **the words.** Syriac and Vulg, read "and the words". **me** = for me. **him** = for him. **an oak** = the oak. **eat no bread.** To avoid what might have been offered to idols. **an angel spake.** A solemn warning for all who listen to any revelation outside Scripture which purports to come from God, even though an "old prophet" asserts it. Compare [Galatians 1:1](../../../kjv/galatians/1/1) , [Galatians 1:8](../../../kjv/galatians/1/8) , [Galatians 1:9](../../../kjv/galatians/1/9) . Of all such it may be said "he lied unto him". **disobeyed** = rebelled against. The same expression used of Moses and Aaron at Meribah ([Numbers 20:24](../../../kjv/numbers/20/24) ; [Numbers 27:14](../../../kjv/numbers/27/14) ). Safety found only in the path of obedience. Compare [1 Kings 13:26](../../../kjv/1-kings/13/26) . **sepulchre.** Hebrew. *keber* , a burying-place. **to wit** = that is to say. **a lion.** For lions in Palestine see [Judges 14:5](../../../kjv/judges/14/5) .

[2 Samuel 23:20](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/20) . 2Sa 20:36 . **disobedient** , by listening to the alleged word of an angel, instead of obeying the voice of Jehovah.
