11 At that time an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons told him what the prophet from Judah had said and done.
12 “Show me which way he went,” the old prophet said, and his sons pointed out the road.
13 “Put a saddle on my donkey,” he told them. After they did, he got on the donkey
14 and rode off to look for the prophet from Judah.The old prophet found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the prophet from Judah?”“Yes, I am.”
15 “Come home with me,” the old prophet said, “and have something to eat.”
16 “I can't go back with you,” the prophet replied, “and I can't eat or drink anything with you.
17 The Lord warned me not to eat or drink or to go home the same way I came.”
