7. Then the king spoke to the man of God, “Come with me to the house and refresh yourself, that I may give you a gift.”
8. Then the man of God said to the king, “Even if you give to me half of your house I will not come with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water in this place,
9. for the word of Yahweh has commanded me, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread nor drink water, and you shall not return on the way that you came.’ ”
10. So he went another way, and he did not return by the way on which he had come to Bethel.
11. Now a certain older prophet was living in Bethel, and his son came and recounted to him all of the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel and the words he had spoken to the king, and they told them to their father.
