1 Kings 13:16-18

The Voice

Man of God: ¹⁶ I will not accompany you to your house, and I will not eat your bread or drink your water here. ¹⁷ The Eternal One gave me clear instructions when He said, “While you are there, do not eat a crumb or drink water. Do not travel back the way you came.”

Prophet: ¹⁸ But you see, I, too, am a prophet, just as you are. One of the Eternal’s heavenly messengers brought me this word of the Eternal: “Escort the man of God back to your house, feed him your bread, and let him drink your water.”
