And the ma of God besought the Lord, and the kinges hand was restored againe, and became as it was afore. 7 And the king sayde vnto the man of God: Come home with me, that thou mayest dine, and I will geue thee a reward. 8 And the man of God sayde vnto the king: If thou wouldest geue me halfe thyne house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eate bread, nor drinke water in this place: 9 For so was it charged me through the word of the Lord, saying: Eate no bread nor drinke water, nor turne agayne by the same way that thou camest. 10 And so he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. Neither ate nor drank with the king, though that is not expressed; nor did he go back the same way he came; but in each particular observed the divine command, and was obedient to it.
