7. Then the king said to the prophet, “Come home with me and have something to eat. I will reward you for what you have done.”
8. The prophet answered, “Even if you gave me half your wealth, I would not go with you or eat or drink anything with you.
9. The Lord has commanded me not to eat or drink a thing, and not to return home the same way I came.”
10. So he did not go back the same way he had come, but by another road.
11. At that time there was an old prophet living in Bethel. His sons came and told him what the prophet from Judah had done in Bethel that day and what he had said to King Jeroboam.
12. “Which way did he go when he left?” the old prophet asked them. They showed him the road
13. and he told them to saddle his donkey for him. They did so, and he rode off
14. down the road after the prophet from Judah and found him sitting under an oak. “Are you the prophet from Judah?” he asked.“I am,” the man answered.
15. “Come home and have a meal with me,” he said.
