  As great men in the East make no presents to equals or

  intended by this to treat the prophet as his superior.

VERSE 20 
 - the word of the Lord.
  "A great clamor," says Dr. Kennicott, "has been raised
  against this part of history, on account of God's denouncing
  sentence on the true prophet by the mouth of the false
  prophet; but if we examine with attention the original words
  here, they will be found to signify either he who brought him
  back, or, whom he had brought back; for the very same words,
  {asher heshivo,} occur again, ver. 23, where they are now
  translated, whom he had brought back; and where they cannot be
  translated otherwise.  This being the case, we are at liberty
  to consider the words of the Lord as delivered to the true
  prophet, thus brought back; and then the sentence is
  pronounced by God himself, calling to him out of heaven, as in
  Ge 22:11.  And that this doom was thus pronounced by God, not
  by the false prophet, we are assured in ver. 26.  'The Lord
  hath delivered him unto the lion, according to the word of the
  Lord, which He spake unto him.'  Josephus [and also the
  Arabic] asserts, that the sentence was declared by God to the
  true prophet."

VERSE 27


VERSE 28 
 - the lion had.
  All here was supernatural.  The lion, though he had killed the
  man, yet, contrary to his nature, did not devour him, nor tear
  the ass, nor meddle with the travellers that passed by; while
  the ass stood quietly by, not fearing the lion, nor betaking
  himself to flight:  both stood as guardians of the fallen
  prophet, till this extraordinary intelligence was carried into
  the city which rendered the miracle the more illustrious and
  plainly shewed that this event did not happen by chance.  This
  concatenation of miracles marked the death of the man of God
  as a Divine rebuke for his disobedience in eating bread at
  idolatrous Beth-el; and here we see, as in various other
  cases, that "often judgment begins at the house of God."  The
  true prophet, for suffering himself to be seduced by the old
  prophet, and for receiving that as a revelation from God which
  was opposed to the revelation which himself had received, and
  which was confirmed by so many miracles, is slain by a lion,
  and his body deprived of the burial of his fathers; while the
  wicked king and the fallen prophet are both permitted to live.
