1 Kings 13:18

He said unto him The Hebrew has the conjunction - And he said": there is no reason for its omission in the English.

Iam a prophet also The order of the R.V. is to be preferred. -I also am a prophet" i.e. as well as you.

an angel spake unto me The old prophet does not lay claim to so solemn a message, as that which the prophet of Judah had received directly -by the word of the Lord." And in this the Judæan prophet's sin lay that he did not seek as much confirmation for the reversed order as he had for that which came to him at first.
