11:013:005 The altar also was rent, and the ashes
poured out from the
altar,
according to the sign which the man of God had given
by
the
word of the lord.
11:013:006 And the king answered and said unto the
man of God, Intreat
now
the face of the lord thy God, and pray for me,
that my
hand
may be restored me again. And the man of God besought
the
lord,
and the king’s hand was restored him again, and
became
as
it was before.
11:013:007 And the king said unto the man of God,
Come home with me, and
refresh
thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
11:013:008 And 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:
11:013:009 For 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.
11:013:010 So he went another way, and returned not
by the way that he
came
to Bethel.
11:013:011 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel;
and his sons came
and
told him all the works that the man of God had done
that
day
in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto
the king,
them
they told also to their father.
11:013:012 And their father said unto them, What way
went he? For his
sons
had seen what way the man of God went, which came from
Judah.
11:013:013 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the
ass. So they saddled
him
the ass: and he rode thereon,
11:013:014 And went after the man of God, and found
him sitting under an
oak:
and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that
camest
from
Judah? And he said, I am.
11:013:015 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
11:013:016 And he said, I may not return with thee,
nor go in with thee:
neither
will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this
place:
11:013:017 For it was said to me by the word of the
lord, Thou shalt eat
no
bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by
the
way
that thou camest.
11:013:018 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as
thou art; and an
angel
spake unto me by the word of the lord, saying,
Bring him
back
with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and
drink
water. But he lied unto him.
11:013:019 So he went back with him, and did eat bread
in his house, and
drank
water.
11:013:020 And it came to pass, as they sat at the
table, that the word
of
the lord came unto the prophet that brought him
back:
