7 Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.” 8 And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place. 9 For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’ ” 10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel. 1 Kings 13:7-10, Catholic Public Domain Version.
