Guiding Questions: I Kings 13

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

The city of Beit El was considered unfit by the Man of God. This is why he refused to take part in Jeroboam’s feast. Consult Deuteronomy 13:13-19 for more information on the status of this city.
Do you believe that God’s punishment for the Man of God was truly fair? Was he not tricked?
The lion miraculously did not consume the entire corpse. This is similar to the account in Daniel 6:23. Why might God not have allowed the lion to eat the corpse?
The Rabbis clearly were never great fans of Jeroboam. What verse in Proverbs 27 do you believe best characterizes the Rabbis’ assessment of Jeroboam?
