1 Kings 13:16-23

16He said, “1I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17For a command came to me 2by the word of the Lord, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way which you came.’” 18He said to him, “3I also am a prophet like you, and 4an 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 5he lied to him. 19So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house and drank water.

20Now 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; 21and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have 6disobeyed the 7command of the Lord, and have not observed the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you, 22but 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.’” 23It came about after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
