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."
18. And he said to him: "I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, 'Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.' " And so he deceived him.
19. And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20. And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
21. And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: "Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
22. and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers."
23. And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
24. And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
