11. Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12. And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.
13. And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,
14. And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.
15. And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.
16. But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
17. Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.
18. He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,
19. And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.
