1 Kings 13:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me for a meal. I’ll give you a gift.”

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.’ ”
