Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Kings. An old prophet from Bethel deceives the man of God and persuades him to return and eat with him, contradicting the instruction he had received. The narrative emphasizes the need to obey the word received from God even when a religious authority claims to have another revelation. The messenger’s reputation or age does not replace faithfulness to the divine command.
