1 Kings 13:16

16 qui ait non possum reverti neque venire tecum nec comedam panem nec bibam aquam in loco isto

1 Kings 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:16

And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee,
&c.] Into the city, and into his house in it, being such an idolatrous place, and especially being forbidden of God:

neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place;
he was resolute and determined to abide by the commandment of the Lord, though there is reason to believe that he was now both hungry and thirsty.
