12. Their father said to them, “What way did he go?” For his sons had seen the way the man of God who came from Judah had gone.
13. He said to his sons, “Saddle my donkey.” So they saddled the donkey for him, and he rode on it.
14. He went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak, and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”And he said, “I am.”
15. Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16. He said, “I may not return with you or go in with you, nor will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place,
17. for I was commanded by the word of the Lord: You shall eat no bread and drink no water there nor return by the way you came.”
