So they made an ass ready, and he got on it, 14 And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee,.... Into the city, and into his house in it, being such an idolatrous place, and especially being forbidden of God:
neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place; he was resolute and determined to abide by the commandment of the Lord, though there is reason to believe that he was now both hungry and thirsty.
