Verse 12 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.
