Joe: Alright! So what do we have here? Let's get into chapter 13 of 1 Kings!

Bible Expert: Yes, this chapter tells the story of a nameless prophet of God who confronts an unnamed King Jeroboam, who is the King of Israel.

Joe: Interesting, so what does this prophet do?

Bible Expert: Well, the prophet delivers a message from God to King Jeroboam, warning him to repent and turn away from his idolatry. But the King refuses and instead orders the prophet to be taken away and killed.

Joe: Whoa, that's intense. What happens next?

Bible Expert: Well, the prophet is miraculously saved by the Lord, who strikes the King with a fatal illness. At the same time, the Lord commands the prophet to return home without eating or drinking anything in the city.

Joe: Wow, that's really amazing. So does the prophet obey?

Bible Expert: Yes, he does. But on his way home, he is tempted by an old prophet who lies to him and tells him to disobey God and eat and drink in the city.

Joe: What happens? Does he obey the old prophet?

Bible Expert: No, thankfully he does not. But as punishment for his disobedience, the old prophet dies and the nameless prophet is struck with a fatal illness.

Joe: That's a really sad ending. So, what's the takeaway from this chapter?

Bible Expert: The takeaway from this chapter is that it is incredibly important to obey God and not be tempted by false prophets or those who seek to lead us astray.
