1 Kings 13:9 in Context — 1 Kings 13

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.

11 Moraba á la sazón en Beth-el un viejo profeta, al cual vino su hijo, y contóle todo lo que el varón de Dios había hecho aquel día en Beth-el: contáronle también á su padre las palabras que había hablado al rey.
