1 Kings 13:1-5

1SuddenlyH2009, as JeroboamH3379 was standingH5975 besideH5921 the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 from JudahH3063 toH413 BethelH1008 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 2And he cried outH7121 againstH5921 the altarH4196 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, “O altarH4196, O altarH4196, this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559H2009: ‘A sonH1121 namedH8034 JosiahH2977 will be bornH3205 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon youH5921 he will sacrificeH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 who burn incenseH6999 upon youH5921, and humanH120 bonesH6106 will be burnedH8313 upon youH5921.’”1

3ThatH1931 dayH3117 the man of God gaveH5414 a signH4159, sayingH559, “The LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 thisH2088 signH4159: ‘SurelyH2009 the altarH4196 will be split apartH7167, and the ashesH1880 upon itH5921 will be poured outH8210.’”

4Now whenH1961 KingH4428 JeroboamH3379, who was atH5921 the altarH4196 inH1008 BethelH1008, heardH8085 the wordH1697 thatH834 the manH376 of GodH430 had cried outH7121 againstH5921 it, he stretched outH7971 his handH3027 and saidH559, “Seize himH8610!” But the handH3027 he stretched outH7971 toward himH5921 witheredH3001, so that he couldH3201 notH3808 pull it backH7725H413. 5And the altarH4196 was split apartH7167, and the ashesH1880 poured outH8210, according to the signH4159 thatH834 the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
