12. And their father saith unto them, `Where [is] this--the way he hath gone?' and his sons see the way that the man of God hath gone who came from Judah.
13. And he saith unto his sons, `Saddle for me the ass,' and they saddle for him the ass, and he rideth on it,
14. and goeth after the man of God, and findeth him sitting under the oak, and saith unto him, `Art thou the man of God who hast come from Judah?' and he saith, `I [am].'
15. And he saith unto him, `Come with me to the house, and eat bread.'
16. And he saith, `I am not able to turn back with thee, and to go in with thee, nor do I eat bread or drink with thee water in this place,
17. for a word [is] unto me by the word of Jehovah, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink there water, thou dost not turn back to go in the way in which thou camest.'
