1 Kings 13:16-23

16And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: 17For it was said to me by the word of Yhwh, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.1 18He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Yhwh, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. 19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

20And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yhwh came unto the prophet that brought him back: 21And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of Yhwh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yhwh thy God commanded thee, 22But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

23And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
