Contextual Overview

11 But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, - whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel - and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them to their father. 12 And their father said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of Judah. 13 So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon; 14 and went after the man of God, and found him, sitting under an oak. And he said unto him - Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And he said - I am. 15 Then said he unto him, Come home with me, - and eat bread. 16 And he said - I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, - neither will I eat bread or drink water with thee, in this place; 17 for there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, - thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest. 18 And he said to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying - Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. 20 And so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had brought him back;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said he unto him, come home with me, and eat bread. In which invitation no doubt he was hearty, and might have no ill design in it, only to have some conversation with him, as being a good man, and a prophet of the Lord, especially upon the subject of his prophecies at Bethel.
