When they had saddled the donkey for him, he mounted it 14 and took off after the prophet, whom he found sitting under an oak tree. He asked him, "Are you the prophet from Judah?" He answered, "Yes, I am." 15 He then said to him, "Come home with me and eat something." 16 But he replied, "I can't go back with you or eat and drink with you in this place. 17 For the Lord gave me strict orders, ‘Do not eat or drink there; do not go back the way you came.'" 18 The old prophet then said, "I too am a prophet like you. An angel told me with the Lord 's authority, ‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat and drink.'"
