1 Kings 13:9 Context
7And the king said vnto the man of God, Come home with mee, and refresh thy selfe, and I wil giue thee a reward. 8And the man of God said vnto the king, If thou wilt giue mee halfe thine house, I will not goe in with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drinke water in this place: 9For so was it charged mee by the word of the Lord, saying, Eate no bread, nor drinke water, nor turne again by the same way that thou camest. 10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that hee came to Bethel. 11¶ Now there dwelt an old Prophet in Bethel, and his sonne came and told him all the workes that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which hee had spoken vnto the king, them they tolde also to their father.
