1 Kings 13:16-23
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.’”
23So after he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet he had brought back.
