1 Kings 13:17 records the false word from the old prophet that led to disobedience — now in verse 21 judgment is pronounced for heeding it.

1 Kings 13:9 states the command that was disobeyed—the rebuke in v21 directly references this earlier instruction.

1 Kings 13:11 introduces the old prophet who delivers the rebuke—providing narrative context for the rebuke in v21.

In 1 Kings 20:36, a prophet rebukes disobedience with a similar pattern—a strong thematic and verbal parallel.

In Numbers 20:12, Moses loses the Promised Land for not treating God as holy — a parallel consequence of death for disobedience to a direct command.

In Numbers 20:24, Aaron dies outside the land for rebelling at Meribah — a similar outcome of death for failing to obey God's explicit word.

In 1 Samuel 13:13, Samuel tells Saul he has not kept God's command — a direct parallel to the same accusation made against the man of God here.

In 1 Samuel 13:14, Samuel adds that because Saul disobeyed, his kingdom will be taken — mirroring the man of God's loss of life for his disobedience.

In 1 Samuel 15:19, Samuel confronts Saul for not obeying God's voice — the same charge levied here against the man of God for disregarding a direct order.

In 1 Samuel 15:22-24, Samuel declares obedience is better than sacrifice — revealing the core issue: the man of God should have obeyed God over the lying prophet.

In 2 Samuel 6:7, Uzzah is struck down for touching the ark — a parallel judgment for violating a specific divine instruction, just as the man of God died for eating when forbidden.

In 2 Samuel 12:9-11, Nathan similarly rebukes David for despising God's word—a parallel prophetic rebuke for disobedience.

In Leviticus 10:3, God requires holiness from those near Him — the man of God's failure to uphold that standard brings judgment, just as Nadab and Abihu faced.

Galatians 1:8 warns against heeding a different message even from an angel — similar to the man of God being deceived by a false prophetic word.

Jeremiah 2:19 teaches that wickedness corrects a person — here the man of God's disobedience directly brings his death, illustrating the same principle.
