    14And 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].

    15Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

    16And 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:

    19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
