An explanation of 1 Kings 13:32

In the narrative surrounding King Jeroboam's reign, a significant episode unfolds following the confrontation with a man of God from Judah. The older prophet, who had deceived this younger prophet, expresses a desire to be buried alongside him, acknowledging the validity of the younger prophet's proclamation against Jeroboam's altar. This request highlights the old prophet's realization of his own disobedience and a wish for a final association with God's truth. His directive ensures a reminder of God's judgments and serves as a form of repentance, albeit too late for him.
