Contextual Overview

11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel. His son came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told their father the words that he had spoken to the king. 12 Then their father said to them, "Which way did he go?"

"I am," he said. 15 Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread." 16 But he answered, "I cannot go back with you, eat bread, or drink water with you in this place, 17 for a message came to me by the word of the Lord : ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or go back by the way you came.'" 18 He said to him, "I am also a prophet like you. An angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord : ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee,.... Into the city, and into his house in it, being such an idolatrous place, and especially being forbidden of God:

neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place; he was resolute and determined to abide by the commandment of the Lord, though there is reason to believe that he was now both hungry and thirsty.
