1 Kings 13:11-22

1 Kings 13:11-22

[11] 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.  [12] 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.  [13] And he said  unto his sons,  Saddle  me the ass.  So they saddled  him the ass:  and he rode  thereon, [14] 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,  [15] Then he said  home  with me, and eat  bread.  [16] 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:  [17] For it was said  Thou shalt eat  no bread  nor drink  water  there, nor turn again  by the way  that thou camest.  [18] 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. [19] So he went back  with him, and did eat  bread  in his house,  and drank  water.  [20] 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:  [21] And he cried  unto the man  of God  that came  from Judah,  saying,  the LORD,  Forasmuch as  thou hast disobeyed  the mouth  of the LORD,  and hast not kept  the commandment  which the LORD  thy God  commanded  [22] 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.
