1 Kings 13:1-10

1And behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of 1GodH430 from JudahH3063, by the wordH1697 of Jehovah, to Bethel; and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 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 child 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's bonesH6106 shall be burnedH8313 upon thee.

3And he gaveH5414 a signH4159 the same dayH3117, sayingH559, This is the signH4159 that 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 wordH1697 of the manH376 of 2GodH430, which he cried against the altarH4196 in Bethel, that JeroboamH3379 stretchedH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027 from the altarH4196, sayingH559, Lay hold on him. And his handH3027 which he stretchedH7971 out against him driedH3001 up, so that he could not bringH7725 it backH7725 again to him.

5And the altarH4196 was rent, and the ashesH1880 pouredH8210 out from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 that the manH376 of 3GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of Jehovah.

6And the kingH4428 answered and saidH559 to the manH376 of 4GodH430, Intreat now Jehovah thy 5GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may beH1961 restoredH7725 to me again. And the manH376 of 6GodH430 intreated Jehovah, and the king's handH3027 wasH1961 restoredH7725 to him again, and becameH1961 as before.

7And the kingH4428 saidH1696 to the manH376 of 7GodH430, ComeH935 home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a present.

8And the manH376 of 8GodH430 saidH559 to 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, nor returnH7725 by the wayH1870 that thou shalt goH1980.

10So he wentH935 another wayH1870, and returnedH7725 not by the wayH1870 that he had comeH935 to Bethel.
