1 Kings 13:1-10

1And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of Jehovah unto Beth-el: and JeroboamH3379 was standingH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999. 2And he cried against the altarH4196 by the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, a sonH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he sacrificeH2076 the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that burnH8313 incenseH6999 upon thee, and men’sH120 bonesH6106 shall they burnH8313 upon thee. 3And he gaveH5414 a signH4159 the same dayH3117, sayingH559, This is the signH4159 which Jehovah hath spokenH1696: Behold, the altarH4196 shall be rent, and the ashesH1880 that are upon it shall be pouredH8210 out. 4And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 heardH8085 the sayingH559 of the manH376 of GodH430, which he cried against the altarH4196 in Beth-el, that JeroboamH3379 put forthH7971 his handH3027 from the altarH4196, sayingH559, Lay hold on him. And his handH3027, which he put forthH7971 against him, driedH3001 up, so that he could not draw it backH7725 again to him. 5The altarH4196 also was rent, and the ashesH1880 pouredH8210 out from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 which the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of Jehovah. 6And the kingH4428 answered and saidH559 unto the manH376 of GodH430, EntreatH2470 now the favor of Jehovah thy GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may beH1961 restoredH7725 me again. And the manH376 of GodH430 entreated Jehovah, and the king’sH4428 handH3027 wasH1961 restoredH7725 him again, and becameH1961 as it wasH1961 before. 7And the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto the manH376 of GodH430, ComeH935 home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a reward. 8And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If thou wilt giveH5414 me halfH2677 thy houseH1004, I will not goH935 in with thee, neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 in this placeH4725; 9for soH3651 was it charged me by the wordH1697 of Jehovah, sayingH559, Thou shalt eatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325, neither returnH7725 by the wayH1870 that thou camest. 10So he wentH935 another wayH1870, and returnedH7725 not by the wayH1870 that he cameH935 to Beth-el.
