1 Kings 13:11-22

11Now 1an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his 2sons 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 reported to their father. 12And their father said to them, “3Which way did he go?” Now his sons 4had seen the way that the man of God who came from Judah had gone. 13Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it. 14So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under 5an oak; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am.” 15Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” 16But he said, “6I cannot return with you, nor come with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17For a 7command came to me 8by the word of the Lord: ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way that you came.’” 18Then he said to him, “9I too am a prophet like you, and 10an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” But 11he 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 out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because you have 12disobeyed the 13command of the Lord, and have not kept 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, “You are not to eat bread nor drink water”; your dead body will not come to the grave of your fathers.’”
