1 Kings 13:1-4
1Now behold, 1a man of God came from Judah to Bethel by the word of the Lord, while Jeroboam was standing at the altar 2to burn incense.
2And 3he cried out against the altar by the word of the Lord and said, “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, 4Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall burn on you.’”
3Then he gave a 5sign on the same day, saying, “6This is the 7sign which the Lord has spoken: ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn to pieces and the 8ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’”
4Now when the king heard the statement of the man of God which he cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” But his hand which he had stretched out toward him dried up, and he could not draw it back to himself.
