1 Kings 13:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ But the man of God replied to the king. He said, “What if you were to give me half of what you own? Even then I wouldn’t go with you. I wouldn’t eat bread or drink water here. ⁹ The Lord gave me a command. He said, ‘Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ” ¹⁰ So he took another road. He didn’t go back on the same road he had taken when he came to Bethel.
