1 Kings 13:32

for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority ¹  against the altar in Bethel ²  and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north ³  will certainly be fulfilled.”

Le 26:30; 1Ki 12:29,31; 1Ki 13:2; 1Ki 16:24; 2Ki 23:16-19; 2Ch 25:13; Ezr 4:10; Joh 4:4,5

¹ tn Heb “for the word which he cried out by the word of the Lord”

³ tn Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.
