Bible verse
but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
1 Kings 13:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 13.
15 So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
16 But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
18 Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, 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.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
19 but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21 and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
22 but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
