1 Kings — Chapter 13


Verse 2

Prophecy against Jeroboam's altar — \"Josias by name shall be born\": Lapide: This prophecy, given 300 years before Josias' birth, and naming him by name, is one of the most remarkable in all Scripture — comparable to Isaias naming Cyrus two hundred years before him. Such precision of prophetic naming demonstrates the divine origin of biblical prophecy.
