1 Kings 13

⁷ Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”

⁸ But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.

⁹ For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”

¹⁰ So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.

¹¹ Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
