14. He went after the man of God. He found the man sitting under an oak tree. The prophet asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”The man answered, “Yes, I am.”
15. So the prophet said, “Please come home and eat with me.”
16. But the man of God answered, “I can’t go home with you. I can’t eat or drink with you in this place.
17. The Lord said to me, ‘You must not eat or drink anything there. And you must not return on the same road by which you came.’”
18. Then the old prophet said, “But I also am a prophet like you.” Then he told a lie. He said, “An angel from the Lord came to me. He told me to bring you to my home. He said you should eat and drink with me.”
19. So the man of God went to the old prophet’s house. And he ate and drank with him there.
20. While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet.
