20While they were sitting at the table, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who had brought him back.

21Then he cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what Yahweh says: Because you have rebelled against the word of Yahweh and have not obeyed the command Yahweh your God gave you,

22but you came back and ate food and drank water in the place about which he told you, ‘Do not eat food or drink water’—your corpse will not be buried in your ancestral tomb.”
