13:7And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

13:8And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

13:9For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

13:10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
