Tree of Life Version
1 Kings 13:11-22
11Now one old prophet was living in Bethel. His son came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel and all the words that he had spoken to the king they related to their father.
12Then their father asked them: “Which way did he go?” For his sons had seen which way the man of God that came from Judah went.
13Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me!” So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.
14Then he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he said.
15“Come home with me,” he said to him, “and eat bread!”
16But he said: “I cannot return with you nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17For it was said to me by the word of Adonai: You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor should you return back by the way by which you came.”
18So he said to him: “I also am a prophet like you. An angel spoke to me with the word of Adonai saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house that he may eat bread and drink water.’” (He lied to him.)
19So he went back with him and ate bread in his house and drank water.
20Now while they were sitting at the table, the word of Adonai came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21and he cried to the man of God that came from Judah saying, “Thus says Adonai: Because you rebelled against the word of Adonai, and did not keep the commandment which Adonai your God commanded you,
22but turned back, ate bread and drank water in the place of which He said to you, ‘Eat no bread and drink no water,’ your carcass will not enter the tomb of your fathers.”
