Geneva Bible Notes (1560)1 Kings 13

^{1 !} Jeroboam is reprehended of the Prophet.

^{1 a} That is a Prophet.

^{1 b} Not that he was called Luz in Neniamin, but another of that name.

^{3 /} Or, be powred out.

^{3 !}By this signe ye shal knowe that the Lord hathe sent me.

^{4 d} The wicked rage against the Prophetes of God, when they declare them Gods judements.

^{4 !}His hand dryeth vp.

^{5 /} Ebr. mouthe.

^{6 e} Thogh the wicked humble themselves for a time, when they fele Gods judgements, yet after they returne to their olde malice & declare that they are but vile hypocrites.

^{7 /} Or, take sustenance.

^{9 /} Or, he charged me: to wit, the Angel.

^{9 f} Seing he had the expresse worde of God, he oght not to haue declined there from, nether for the persuasion of man nor Angel.

^{12 /} Ebr. loked.

^{14 /} Ebr, I am.

^{15 !} The Prophet is seduced.

^{15 g} This he did of a simple minde, thinking it his duetie to declare friendship to a Prophet.

^{18 h} His faute is here double: first in that that he suffreth not the Prophete to obey Gods expresse commandement: and next, that he faineth to haue a reuelacion to the contrary.

^{21 i} God wolde reproue his foly by him, who was the occasion to bring him into error.

^{24 !} And is killed of a lyon.

^{24 k} By this feareful example, God setteth forthe, how dangerous a thing it is for men to behavue them selues coldely, or deceitfully in their charge whereunto God hathe called them.

^{28 l} To declare that this was onely the iudgement of God: for if the lyon had done it for hungre, he wolde also haue deuoured the body.

^{30 m} Which he had prepared for himself.

^{33 n} So the wicked profit not by Gods threatnings, but go backewarde & become worse and worse, {2 Tim. 3,13}

^{33 /} Ebr. fil his hand.

^{33 !} The obstinacie of Jeroboam.
