1 Kings 13:7-10 ▼

7 And the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”

8 But the man of God said to the king, “Even if you were to give me half your house (wealth), I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.

9 For I was commanded by the word of the LORD, ‘You shall not eat bread or drink water, nor shall you return by the way you came.’”

10 So he went another way and did not return by the way that he came to Bethel.
