12

Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

13

Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.

14

So he 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

Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread."

16

He said, "I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.

17

"For a command came to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way which you came.'"

18

He said to him, "I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him.
