1 Kings 13:7-10
The Message
7 Then the king invited the holy man, “Join me for a meal; I have a gift for you.”
8-10 The holy man told the king, “Not on your life! You couldn’t pay me enough to get me to sit down with you at a meal in this place. I’m here under God’s orders, and he commanded, ‘Don’t eat a crumb, don’t drink a drop, and don’t go back the way you came.’” Then he left by a different road than the one on which he had walked to Bethel.

1 Kings 13:7-9
New International Version
7 The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me for a meal, and I will give you a gift.”(A)
8 But the man of God answered the king, “Even if you were to give me half your possessions,(B) I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread(C) or drink water here. 9 For I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
