And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
And he called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, saying, 'This is what the LORD says: Because you have disobeyed what the LORD told you to do, and have not followed the command that the LORD your God gave you,'
God is confronting His prophet through another person because the prophet disobeyed God's clear instructions.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of 1 Kings, a prophet from Judah is sent by God to deliver a message against King Jeroboam of Israel, who had led the people into idolatry by setting up false altars. This prophet was given strict instructions from God not to eat, drink, or stay in that place, and to return home by a different route to avoid any compromise. However, he was deceived by an older prophet who lied to him, leading to the prophet's disobedience and God's rebuke as described in this verse.
