15. Then he said to him, Come home with me and eat bread.
16. He said, I may not return with you or go in with you, neither will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17. For I was told by the word of the Lord, You shall not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way that you came.
18. He answered, I am a prophet also, as you are. And an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.
19. So the man from Judah went back with him and ate and drank water in his house.
20. And as they sat at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who brought him back.
21. And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, Thus says the Lord: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not kept the command which the Lord your God commanded you,
22. But have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which the Lord said to you, Eat no bread and drink no water–your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.
23. And after the prophet of the house had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled the donkey for the man he had brought back.
24. And when he had gone, a lion met him by the road and slew him, and his corpse was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the corpse.
25. And behold, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown in the road, and the lion standing by the corpse, and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26. When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of the Lord; therefore the Lord has given him to the lion, which has torn him and slain him, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke to him.
