    14and 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.”

    15He then said to him,“Come home with me and eat something.”

    16But 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.

    17For 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.’”

    18Then 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.

    19So the prophet went back with him. He ate food in his house and he drank water.

    23So this is what happened after he had eaten food and drunk water. The old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.

    7The king then said to the prophet,“Come home with me and have something to eat, so that I may give you a gift.”

    8But the prophet said to the king,“Even if you were to give me half your possessions, I would not go with you. I am not allowed to eat food or drink water in this place.

    9For this is how I was commanded in the LORD’s message,‘Eat no food. Drink no water. And do not return by the way you came.’”

    10So he started back on another road; he did not travel back on the same road he had taken to Bethel.

    11Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel. When his sons came home, they told him everything the prophet had done in Bethel that day. And they told their father all the words that he had spoken to the king.

    12Their father asked them,“Which road did he take?” His sons showed him the road the prophet from Judah had taken.
