17 For I have been told by the word of YHWH, ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink there water, nor return by going the way that you came in.’”

18 And He said to him, “I am also a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He was lying to him.

19 And he went back with him and ate bread in his house, and he drank water.

20 And it came to pass as they sat at the table, that the word of YHWH came to the prophet who had brought him back,

21 and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Because that you have disobeyed the word of YHWH and have not kept the commandment that YHWH your God commanded you—

22 and you returned and ate bread and drank water in the place of which He said to you: You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water—your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”

23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

24 And he went, and a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his corpse was thrown on the road. And the donkey stood by it, and the lion stood by the corpse.
