7 The king then said to the prophet, |Come home with me and have something to eat. I'd like to give a present.| 8 But the prophet said to the king, |Even if you were to give me half your possessions, I could not go with you and eat and drink in this place. 9 For the LORD gave me strict orders, 'Do not eat or drink there and do not go home the way you came.'| 10 So he started back on another road; he did not travel back on the same road he had taken to Bethel. 1 Kings 13:7-10, New English Translation.
