וַיְהִי הֵם יֹשְׁבִים אֶל־הַשֻּׁלְחָן {פ}
וַֽיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה אֶל־הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר הֱשִׁיבֽוֹ׃
As they were sitting at the table the word of Adonoy came to the prophet that caused him to return.

Rashi
אשר השיבו. לאיש האלהים, מכאן אמרו (סנהדרין קד א): גדולה לגימא שמשרה שכינה על נביאי הבעל:
That caused him to return. To the man of God. From here they [the Rabbis] deduced that [offering] refreshment is a great thing, for it causes the Divine Presence to rest on the prophets of the Baal.8The simple act of hospitality can have great and far reaching consequences. See Maseches Sanhedrin 103b-104a.
וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־בָּא מִֽיהוּדָה לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה יַעַן כִּי מָרִיתָ פִּי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֶת־הַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר צִוְּךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
And He called to the man of God, who had come from Yehudah saying, “Thus said Adonoy, ‘Since you rebelled against the word of Adonoy, and you did not preserve the mitzvah that Adonoy, your God, commanded you;

Rashi
ויקרא. הנביא הזקן, אל איש האלהים:
And he called. The old prophet called the man of God.9Alternatively, and “he prophesied about the prophet of God.”—Targum Yonoson
וַתָּשׇׁב וַתֹּאכַל לֶחֶם וַתֵּשְׁתְּ מַיִם בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ אַל־תֹּאכַל לֶחֶם וְאַל־תֵּשְׁתְּ מָיִם לֹא־תָבוֹא נִבְלָתְךָ אֶל־קֶבֶר אֲבֹתֶֽיךָ׃
and you returned, and ate bread, and drank water in the place about which He told you, “Do not eat bread, and do not drink water,” your corpse will not enter the grave of your fathers.’”

וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי אׇכְלוֹ לֶחֶם וְאַחֲרֵי שְׁתוֹתוֹ וַיַּחֲבׇשׁ־לוֹ הַחֲמוֹר לַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר הֱשִׁיבֽוֹ׃
And after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet that he brought back.
And after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet that he brought back.
Rashi
לנביא אשר השיבו. שם זה לרכוב עליו איש האלהים:
For the prophet that he brought back. Whom this one [had brought] there, for the man of God to ride upon.
וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּמְצָאֵהוּ אַרְיֵה בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיְמִיתֵהוּ וַתְּהִי נִבְלָתוֹ מֻשְׁלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהַֽחֲמוֹר עֹמֵד אֶצְלָהּ וְהָאַרְיֵה עֹמֵד אֵצֶל הַנְּבֵלָֽה׃
And he [the prophet] went [on his way] and a lion found him on the road and killed him; and his corpse was thrown on the road. The donkey remained standing next to it and the lion stood next to the corpse.

וְהִנֵּה אֲנָשִׁים עֹבְרִים וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת־הַנְּבֵלָה מֻשְׁלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְאֶת־הָאַרְיֵה עֹמֵד אֵצֶל הַנְּבֵלָה וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיְדַבְּרוּ בָעִיר אֲשֶׁר הַנָּבִיא הַזָּקֵן יֹשֵׁב בָּֽהּ׃
And behold, people were passing by and they saw the corpse flung on the road, and the lion standing next to the corpse; and they came and spoke about it in the city in which the old prophet lived.

וַיִּשְׁמַע הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר הֱשִׁיבוֹ מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים הוּא אֲשֶׁר מָרָה אֶת־פִּי יְהֹוָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ יְהֹוָה לָאַרְיֵה וַֽיִּשְׁבְּרֵהוּ וַיְמִתֵהוּ כִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־לֽוֹ׃
And the prophet heard [about it] he who had brought him back from the road, and he said, “It is the man of God who rebelled against the word of Adonoy; and Adonoy delivered him to the lion, and the lion crushed him and killed him just like the word of God that He had spoken to him.”

וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל־בָּנָיו לֵאמֹר חִבְשׁוּ־לִי אֶֽת־הַחֲמוֹר וַֽיַּחֲבֹֽשׁוּ׃
And he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.

וַיִּשָּׂא הַנָּבִיא אֶת־נִבְלַת אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּנִּחֵהוּ אֶֽל־הַחֲמוֹר וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־עִיר הַנָּבִיא הַזָּקֵן לִסְפֹּד וּלְקׇבְרֽוֹ׃
The prophet carried the corpse of the man of God and placed it on the donkey and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to eulogize him and to bury him.

Rashi
בקברו. בבית קבורה שהיה לנביא השקר הזה בעיר:
In his own grave. In the graveyard belonging to the false prophet in the city.10Alternatively, “in the grave that he had dug for himself.”—Metzudas Dovid
וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי קׇבְרוֹ אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־בָּנָיו לֵאמֹר בְּמוֹתִי וּקְבַרְתֶּם אֹתִי בַּקֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים קָבוּר בּוֹ אֵצֶל עַצְמֹתָיו הַנִּיחוּ אֶת־עַצְמֹתָֽי׃
After he buried him, he spoke to his sons saying, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; next to his bones, you shall place my bones.
After he buried him, he spoke to his sons saying, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; next to his bones, you shall place my bones.
כִּי הָיֹה יִֽהְיֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר קָרָא בִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵֽית־אֵל וְעַל כׇּל־בָּתֵּי הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּעָרֵי שֹׁמְרֽוֹן׃ {פ}
For the message will certainly come to pass that he called out by the word of God concerning the altar that is in Beis Eil, and about all the houses of the altars that are in the cities of Shomron.”
For the message will certainly come to pass that he called out by the word of God concerning the altar that is in Beis Eil, and about all the houses of the altars that are in the cities of Shomron.”
Rashi
כי היה יהיה וגו'. אולי ימלטו עצמותיו את עצמותי:
For [the message] will certainly come to pass, etc. Perhaps his bones will rescue my bones.11This is indeed what happened. See below, II Melochim 23:18.
אל הנביא. נביא השקר:
To the prophet. The false prophet.
