“But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place:”
“But he said, I may not go back with you or go into your house; and I will not take food or a drink of water with you in this place;”

He then told his sons,“Saddle the donkey for me.” When they had saddled the donkey for him, he mounted it
and took off after the prophet, whom he found sitting under an oak tree. He asked him,“Are you the prophet from Judah?” He answered,“Yes, I am.”
He then said to him,“Come home with me and eat something.”
But he replied,“I can’t go back with you. I am not allowed to eat food or to drink water with you in this place.
For an order came to me in the LORD’s message,‘Eat no food. Drink no water there. And do not return by the way you came.’”
Then the old prophet said,“I too am a prophet like you. And an angel has told me in a message from the LORD,‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat food and drink water.’” But he had lied to him.
So the prophet went back with him. He ate food in his house and he drank water.
