BRAGADAYJAH 1026
The man of God met a lying Prophet
At that time there was an old prophet in Bethel; and his
sons came to him and told him all the things that the man of God and done that
day in Bethel, including the words he had spoken to the king. And their father
asked them what way the man of God went; for it happened that the sons had seen
the way the man of God had gone and they told their father. And the old prophet told his sons to saddle
his ass which they did; and the old prophet left upon his ass. And following
after the man of God, the old prophet found him sitting under an oak tree. And
he asked him if he was the man of God that came from Judah. And the man of God answered him and said he
was. And the old prophet invited the man of God to go home with him and eat
bread. And the man of God told him that he could not go with him to his house,
not eat bread, nor drink water with him; for the Lord had told him not to eat bread
or drink water in that place. But the old prophet told the man of God that he
too was a prophet and that an angel had spoken to him by the word of the Lord and
told him to bring him back with him to his house and that they should eat bread
together there. So the man of God went with the old prophet to his house and they
ate and drank together; but the old man had lied when he told the man of God
that he was told to take him to his house and eat and drink with him there.
