And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
El profeta le dijo al rey: 'Aunque me ofrecieras la mitad de todo lo que posees, no iría contigo ni comería alimento ni bebería agua en este lugar.'
El profeta rechazó totalmente la generosa oferta del rey porque tenía órdenes estrictas de Dios de no quedarse en ese lugar.
