1 Kings 13:11-22

11Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel. His son came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told their father the words that he had spoken to the king.

12Then their father asked them, “Which way did he go?” His sons had seen the way taken by the man of God who had come from Judah.

13Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him, and he got on it.

14He followed the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. He asked him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he said.

15Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”

16But he answered, “I cannot go back with you or accompany you; I will not eat food or drink water with you in this place.

17For a message came to me by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat food or drink water there or go back by the way you came.’”

18He said to him, “I am also a prophet like you. An angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord: ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat food and drink water.’” The old prophet deceived him,

19and the man of God went back with him, ate food in his house, and drank water.

20While they were sitting at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back,

21and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because you rebelled against the Lord’s command and did not keep the command that the Lord your God commanded you —

22but you went back and ate food and drank water in the place that he said to you, “Do not eat food and do not drink water” — your corpse will never reach the grave of your ancestors.’”
