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

11 And a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his son came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. The words which he had spoken to the king they also told to their father. 12 And their father said to them, Where is this man? What way did he go? For his sons had seen what way the man of God, who came from Judah, had gone. 13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled the ass for him, and he rode on it, 14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

15 And he said to him, Come home with me and eat bread.

16 And he said, I may not return with you nor go in with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17 For a word was to me by the Word of Jehovah, You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.

18 And he said to him, I am a prophet also as you are. And an angel spoke to me by the Word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him. 19 So he went back with him and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

20 And it happened as they sat at the table, the Word of Jehovah came to the prophet who brought him back. 21 And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, So says Jehovah, Because you have not obeyed the mouth of Jehovah and have not kept the command which Jehovah your God commanded you, 22 but came back and have eaten bread and have drunk water in the place which He said to you, You shall not eat bread nor drink water, your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.
