1 Kings 13:3-6

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.

6Then the kingH4428H559 respondedH6030 toH413 the manH376 of GodH430, “IntercedeH2470H4994 withH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and prayH6419 for meH1157 that my handH3027 may be restoredH7725.”

So the manH376 of GodH430 intercededH2470 withH6440 the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 handH3027 was restoredH7725 to himH413 asH1961 it was beforeH7223.
