Contextual Overview
11Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him everything that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 12Their father asked them, "Which way did he go?" For his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone. 13He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it, 14and he went after the man of God. And he found him sitting under an oak (terebinth) tree, and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am." 15Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread." 16He said, "I cannot return with you nor go in with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17"For I was told by the word of the LORD, 'You shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor shall you return by going the way that you came.'"18He answered him, "I too am a prophet, as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him. 19So the man of God went back with him, and ate bread in his house and drank water. 20Now it happened as they were sitting at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For it was said to me by the word of the Lord,.... By the angel that was sent to him, who gave him his message and instructions; which he was persuaded came from the Lord himself, and therefore looked upon himself under obligation to regard them as such:
thou shall eat no bread, &c. the same that he observed to the king, 1 Kings 13:9.
