Exegesis
The verse advances with a rapid chain of wayyiqtol forms, vattashav {וַתָּשָׁב | waṯ-šāḇ} ‘and you returned’, vatokhal {וַתֹּאכַל | waṯ-ʾō-ḵal} ‘and you ate’, and vattesht {וַתֵּשְׁתְּ | waṯ-ṯēšt} ‘and you drank’, portraying step-by-step reversal and participation in what was forbidden.
In context — 1 Kings 13:22
But you returned and ate bread and drank water in the place where He spoke to you, “Do not eat bread, and do not drink water.” Your corpse will not come to the grave of your fathers.
