1 Kings 13:14

Judah

12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.

13 So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it

and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.

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.
