14. He went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. The prophet asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”The man answered, “Yes, I am.”
15. The prophet said, “Please come home and eat with me.”
16. “I can’t go home with you,” the man of God answered. “I can’t eat or drink with you in this place.
17. The Lord said to me, ‘Don’t eat or drink anything there or return on the same road by which you came.’ ”
18. Then the old prophet said, “But I also am a prophet like you.” Then he told a lie. He said, “An angel from the Lord came to me and told me to bring you to my home. He said you should eat and drink with me.”
19. So the man of God went to the old prophet’s house, and he ate and drank with him there.
20. While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet.
21. The old prophet cried out to the man of God from Judah, “The Lord said you did not obey him! He said you did not do what the Lord your God commanded you.
22. The Lord commanded you not to eat or drink anything in this place, but you came back and ate and drank. So your body will not be buried in your family grave.”
