    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.’”

    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.
