1 Kings13:7
1Ki 13:7
As Jeroboam could do nothing by force against the prophet, he endeavoured to gain him over to his side by friendliness, that at least he might render his threat harmless in the eyes of the people. For this purpose, and not to do him honour or to make him some acknowledgment for the restoration of his hand, he invited him to his house, to strengthen himself with food (סעד as in Gen 18:5; Jdg 9:5; for the form סעדה, see Ewald, §41, c.) and receive from him a present.
