An old prophet who lives in Bethel lies to the man of God and brings him back to his house
벧엘에 사는 늙은 선지자가 하나님의 사람을 속여 자기 집으로 데려감
1 Kings 13:11–19: now an old prophet lives in Bethel, and one of his sons comes and tells him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also tell their father the words which he had spoken to the king. Their father says to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah. He says to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddle the donkey for him; and he rides on it. He goes after the man of God, and finds him sitting under an oak. He says to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He says, “I am.” Then he says to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” He says, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place. For it was said to me by the LORD’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’” He says to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The text says, “He lied to him.” So he goes back with him, eats bread in his house, and drinks water. Where WEB reads “one of his sons came”, the Korean Revised Version reads 그 아들들이 와서, his sons came.
