1 Kings 13:13 In-Context

11 Now there lived an old prophet in Beit-El; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beit-El: the words which he had spoken to the king, them also they told to their father.

12 Their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Yehudah.

13 He said to his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey; and he rode thereon.

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