Test The Spirits

1 Kings 13:17-18

"For I was told by the word of the Lord, You shall not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way that you came.
He answered, I am a prophet also, as you are. And an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him."

Why did the other prophet need to lie, and get him to disobey "The Word of The Lord," to the younger man of God's.
Well, both were God chosen, God called and sent... One was in the land for a long time... The other a newbie. The older one was paid by the king's money... The younger must of not been financed by the king... If, after the sign of His Word through the young man of God's happened, then the king might replace the old prophet, or God could of been saying something to the older prophet by sending the newbie in his place...

None the less, by trusting in mans word, the younger one died...
