12 the father asked them, “Which way did he go?” So his sons pointed out to him the road taken by the man of God who had come from Judah.
13 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” When they had saddled it, he mounted
14 and followed the man of God, whom he found seated under a terebinth. When he asked him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he answered, “Yes.”
15 Then he said, “Come home with me and have some bread.”
16 “I cannot return with you or go with you, and I cannot eat bread or drink water with you in this place,” he answered,
17 “for I was told by the word of the Lord: You shall not eat bread or drink water there, and do not go back the way you came.”
18 But he said to him, “I, too, am a prophet like you, and an angel told me by the word of the Lord: Bring him back with you to your house to eat bread and drink water.” But he was lying to him.
