John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 13:12

"And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah." — 1 Kings 13:12 (ASV)

And their father said to them, what way he went ?
&c.] Having a strong inclination to see him, and converse with him:

for his sons had seen what way the man of God went which came from
Judah ;
they took notice of it; and, as the Targum, they showed it to their father.
