The man of God is killed for disobedience, while the old prophet lives on and eventually even benefits from the death (2 Kgs 23:18). Why did God punish his prophet who was deceived, not the one who deceived? The text keeps silent about this as well as about the motive of the old prophet's lying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis strange story takes up a big portion of the Jeroboam narrative (1 Kgs 11-14).
