1 Kings 13:8 in Context — 1 Kings 13

6 Entonces respondiendo el rey, dijo al varón de Dios: Te pido que ruegues á la faz de Jehová tu Dios, y ora por mí, que mi mano me sea restituída. Y el varón de Dios oró á la faz de Jehová, y la mano del rey se le recuperó, y tornóse como antes.

7 Y el rey dijo al varón de Dios: Ven conmigo á casa, y comerás, y yo te daré un presente.

8 Mas el varón de Dios dijo al rey: Si me dieses la mitad de tu casa, no iría contigo, ni comería pan ni bebería agua en este lugar;

9 Porque así me está mandado por palabra de Jehová, diciendo: No comas pan, ni bebas agua, ni vuelvas por el camino que fueres.

10 Fuése pues por otro camino, y no volvió por el camino por donde había venido á Beth-el.
