SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:32
Porque sin duda vendrá lo que él dijo a voces por palabra del SEÑOR contra el altar que está en Bet-el, y contra todas las casas de los altos que están en las ciudades de Samaria.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 13:32
Verse 32. In the cities of Samaria] It is most certain that Samaria, or as it is called in Hebrew Shomeron, was not built at this time. We are expressly told that Omri, king of Israel, founded this city on the hill which he bought for two talents of silver, from a person of the name of Shemer, after whom he called the city Samaria or Shomeron; (see chap. xvi. 24;) and this was fifty years after the death of Jeroboam. How then could the old prophet speak of Samaria, not then in existence, unless he did it by the spirit of prophecy, calling things that are not as though they were; as the man of God called Josiah by name three hundred years before he was born? Some suppose that the historian adds these words because Samaria existed in his time, and he well knew that it did not exist in the time of the old prophet; for himself, in the sixteenth chapter, gives us the account of its foundation by Omri. After all, it is possible that God might have given this revelation to the old prophet; and thus by anticipation which is the language of prophecy, spoke of Samaria as then existing. This is the solution of Houbigant, and is thought sound by many good critics.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel , etc.] That the priests should be offered on it, and men’s bones be burnt upon it; for as for its being rent, and the ashes of it poured out, that had been done already: and against all the houses of the high places which are in Samaria, shall surely come to pass : by which it appears that there were temples, and high places, and altars built in other parts of the kingdom besides Dan and Bethel, of the destruction of which the man of God prophesied, though not before mentioned; all which the old prophet gave credit to, and firmly believed would be accomplished. The kingdom of Israel, in later times, had the name of Samaria, from the chief city of it, ( Isaiah 7:9), here spoken of by anticipation, for as yet it was not in being, (see 1 Kings 16:24) and either it has its name here by way of prophecy, or else given by the writer of this book, as what it went by in his time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-34 - God is displeased at the sins of his own people; and no man shall be protected in disobedience, by his office, his nearness to God, or an services he has done for him. God warns all whom he employs, strictl to observe their orders. We cannot judge of men by their sufferings nor of sins by present punishments; with some, the flesh is destroyed that the spirit may be saved; with others, the flesh is pampered, tha the soul may ripen for hell. Jeroboam returned not from his evil way He promised himself that the calves would secure the crown to his family, but they lost it, and sunk his family. Those betray themselve who think to support themselves by any sin whatever. Let us drea prospering in sinful ways; pray to be kept from every delusion an temptation, and to be enabled to walk with self-denying perseverance in the way of God's commands __________________________________________________________________
