1 Kings 13:8 in Context — 1 Kings 13

6 Então respondendo o rei, disse ao homem de Deus: Peço-te que rogues à face do SENHOR teu Deus, e ora por mim, que minha mão me seja restituída. E o homem de Deus orou à face do SENHOR, e a mão do rei se lhe recuperou e tornou-se como antes.

7 E o rei disse ao homem de Deus: Vem comigo à casa, e comerás, e eu te darei um presente.

8 Mas o homem de Deus disse ao rei: Se me desses a metade de tua casa, não iria contigo, nem comeria pão nem beberia água neste lugar;

9 Porque assim me está mandado por palavra do SENHOR, dizendo: Não comas pão, nem bebas água, nem voltes pelo caminho que fordes.

10 Foi-se, pois, por outro caminho, e não voltou pelo caminho por de onde havia vindo a Betel.
