13. And he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
14. and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he responded, "I am."
15. And he said to him, "Come home with me, so that you may eat bread."
16. But he said: "I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
17. For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, "You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived."
