*
Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel ;
and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel :
the words which he had spoken unto the king ,
them they told also to their father .
*
And their father said unto them ,
What way went he ?
For his sons had seen what way the man of God went ,
which came from Judah .
*
And he said unto his sons ,
Saddle me the ass .
So they saddled him the ass :
and he rode thereon ,
*
And went after the man of God ,
and found him sitting under an oak :
and he said unto him ,
Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah ?
And he said ,
I am .
*
Then he said unto him ,
Come home with me ,
and eat bread .
*
And 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 :
*
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD ,
Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there ,
nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest .
*
He said unto him ,
I am a prophet also as thou art ;
and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD ,
saying ,
Bring him back with thee into thine house ,
that he may eat bread and drink water .
But he lied unto him .
*
So he went back with him ,
and did eat bread in his house ,
and drank water .
