Bible. Kings, 1st
11:013:008 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me
half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I
eat bread nor drink water in this place:
11:013:009 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat
no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that
thou camest.
11:013:010 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he
came to Bethel.
11:013:011 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.
11:013:012 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.
11:013:013 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled
him the ass: and he rode thereon,
11:013:014 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.
11:013:015 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
11:013:016 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:
11:013:017 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.
11:013:018 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.
11:013:019 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and
drank water.
11:013:020 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word
of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
11:013:021 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying,
Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the
mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the
LORD thy God commanded thee,
11:013:022 But 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.
11:013:023 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he
had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the
prophet whom he had brought back.
11:013:024 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him:
and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it,
the lion also stood by the carcase.
