and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came
from Judah? He said, I am.
013:015 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
013:016 He said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you;
neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:
013:017 for it was said to me by the word of Yahweh, You shall eat no
bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way
that you came.
013:018 He said to him, I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel
spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, Bring him back with
you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.
[But] he lied to him.
013:019 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house,
and drank water.
013:020 It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh
came to the prophet who brought him back;
013:021 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying,
Thus says Yahweh, Because you have been disobedient to the mouth
of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh
your God commanded you,
013:022 but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place
of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water;
your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.
013:023 It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk,
that he saddled for him the donkey, [to wit], for the prophet
whom he had brought back.
013:024 When he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him:
and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it;
the lion also stood by the body.
013:025 Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way,
and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it
in the city where the old prophet lived.
013:026 When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it,
he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth
of Yahweh: therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion,
which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word
of Yahweh, which he spoke to him.
013:027 He spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the donkey.
They saddled it.
013:028 He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey
and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten
the body, nor torn the donkey.
013:029 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it
on the donkey, and brought it back; and he came to the city
of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.
013:030 He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him,
[saying], Alas, my brother!
013:031 It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons,
saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which
the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
