And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

the word of the Lord
A great clamour,' says Dr. Kennicott, has been raised against this part of history, on account of God's denouncing sentence on the {true} prophet by the mouth of the {false} prophet; but if we examine with attention the original words here, they will be found to signify either {he who brought him back} or {whom he had brought back}; for the very same words, ahser heshivo, occur again, ver. 23, where they are now translated, {whom he had brought back}; and where they cannot be translated otherwise. This being the case, we are at liberty to consider the words of the Lord as delivered to the {true} prophet, thus brought back; and then the sentence is pronounced by God himself, calling to him out of heaven, and in Ge 22:11. and that this doom was thus pronounced by God, not by the false prophet, we are assured in verse 26. `The Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, according to the word of the Lord, which HE spake unto him.' Josephus [and also the {Arabic}] asserts, that the sentence was declared by God to the {true} prophet. Nu 23:5,16 24:4,16-24 Mt 7:22 Joh 11:51 1Co 13:2
