10
So he went another way, and didn't return by the way that he came to Beit-El.
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.
14
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Yehudah? He said, I am.
15
Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16
He said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:
17
for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.
18
He said to him, I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied to him.
19
So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20
It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who brought him back;
21
and he cried to the man of God who came from Yehudah, saying, Thus says the LORD, Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the mitzvah which the LORD your God commanded you,
22
but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.
23
It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24
When he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him: and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.
25
Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
