1 Kings 13:11-22 - The Man Of God Disobeys

¹¹ And one prophet, an old man, dwelt in the house of God; and his sons will come and relate to him all the work which the man of God did that day in the house of God: the words which he spake to the king, and they will relate them to their father. ¹² And their father will speak to them, What way went he? and his sons will see the way that the man of God went who came from Judah. ¹³ And he will say to his sons, Saddle for me the ass: and they will saddle for him the ass and he will ride upon it ¹⁴ And he will go after the man of God, and he will find him sitting under an oak: and he will say to him, Thou the man of God who came from Judah? And he will say, I.

¹⁵ And he will say to him, Go with me to the house and eat bread.

¹⁶ And he will say, I shall not be able to turn back with thee and to go with thee: and I will not eat bread and I will not drink water with thee in this place: ¹⁷ For it was spoken to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt not eat bread and thou shalt not drink water there, thou shalt not turn back to go in the way which thou wentest in it

¹⁸ And he will say to him, I also a prophet as thou; and a messenger spake to me in the word of Jehovah, saying, Turn him back with thee to thy house; and he shall eat bread and drink water. Lying to him. ¹⁹ And he will turn back with him and eat bread in his house, and drink water.

²⁰ And it will be, they sitting at the table, and the word of Jehovah will be to the prophet who turned him back: ²¹ And he will call to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Because thou didst imbitter the mouth of Jehovah and didst not watch the command, which Jehovah thy God commanded thee, ²² And thou wilt turn back and eat bread and drink water in the place which he spake to thee, Thou shalt not eat bread and thou shalt not drink water; thy corpse shall not come to the grave of thy fathers.
