1 Kings 13:11-22

¹¹ Now an old prophet was living in Bethel ; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel ; the words which he had spoken to the king , these also they related to their father . ¹² Their father said to them, "Which e way did he go ?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone . ¹³ Then he said to his sons , "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it. ¹⁴ So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak ; and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah ?" And he said , "I am." ¹⁵ Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread ." ¹⁶ He said , " I cannot e return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place . ¹⁷ "For a command came to me by the word of the Lord , 'You shall eat no bread , nor drink water there ; do not return by going the way which you came .' " ¹⁸ He said to him, " I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord , saying , 'Bring him back with you to your house , that he may eat bread and drink water .' " But he lied to him. ¹⁹ So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house and drank water . ²⁰ Now it came about, as they were sitting down at the table , that the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back ; ²¹ and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah , saying , "Thus says the Lord , 'Because e you have disobeyed the command of the Lord , and have not observed the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you, ²² but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, "Eat no bread and drink no water "; your body shall not come to the grave of your fathers .'
