1 Kings 13:16-23

16The man of God said, “I’m not allowed to go back with you. I’m not allowed to eat or drink with you.

17When the Lord spoke to me, he told me not to eat or drink there or go back on the road I took to get there.”

18The old prophet said, “I’m also a prophet, like you. An angel spoke the Lord’s word to me. He said, ‘Bring him home with you so that he may have something to eat and drink.’ ” (But the old prophet was lying.)

19The man of God went back with him and ate and drank in his home.

20When they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet who had brought back the man of God.

21The Lord also called to the man of God. He said, “This is what the Lord says: You rebelled against the words from the Lord’s mouth and didn’t obey the command that the Lord your God gave you.

22You came back, ate, and drank at this place about which he told you, ‘Don’t eat or drink there.’ That is why your dead body will not be allowed to be placed in the tomb of your ancestors.”

23After the old prophet had something to eat and drink, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
