1 Kings 13:2-24

2And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men’sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee. 3And he gaveH5414 a signH4159 the same dayH3117, sayingH559, This is the signH4159 which YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696; Behold, the altarH4196 shall be rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 that are upon it shall be poured outH8210. 4And it came to pass, when kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 heardH8085 the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430, which had criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in Beth–elH1008, that he put forthH7971 his handH3027 from the altarH4196, sayingH559, Lay holdH8610 on him. And his handH3027, which he put forthH7971 against him, dried upH3001, so that he couldH3201 not pull it in againH7725 to him. 5The altarH4196 also was rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 poured outH8210 from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 which the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068. 6And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the manH376 of GodH430, IntreatH2470 now the faceH6440 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may be restored me againH7725. And the manH376 of GodH430 besoughtH6440H2470 YhwhH3068, and the king’sH4428 handH3027 was restored him againH7725, and became as it was beforeH7223.1 7And the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto the manH376 of GodH430, ComeH935 homeH1004 with me, and refreshH5582 thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a rewardH4991. 8And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If thou wilt giveH5414 me halfH2677 thine houseH1004, I will not go inH935 with thee, neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 in this placeH4725: 9For so was it chargedH6680 me by the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, sayingH559, EatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325, nor turn againH7725 by the same wayH1870 that thou camestH1980. 10So he wentH3212 anotherH312 wayH1870, and returnedH7725 not by the wayH1870 that he cameH935 to Beth–elH1008.

11Now there dweltH3427 anH259 oldH2205 prophetH5030 in Beth–elH1008; and his sonsH1121 cameH935 and toldH5608 him all the worksH4639 that the manH376 of GodH430 had doneH6213 that dayH3117 in Beth–elH1008: the wordsH1697 which he had spokenH1696 unto the kingH4428, them they toldH5608 also to their fatherH1. 12And their fatherH1 saidH1696 unto them, What wayH1870 wentH1980 he? For his sonsH1121 had seenH7200 whatH335 wayH1870 the manH376 of GodH430 wentH1980, which cameH935 from JudahH3063. 13And he saidH559 unto his sonsH1121, SaddleH2280 me the donkeyH2543. So they saddledH2280 him the donkeyH2543: and he rodeH7392 thereon, 14And wentH3212 afterH310 the manH376 of GodH430, and foundH4672 him sittingH3427 under an oakH424: and he saidH559 unto him, Art thou the manH376 of GodH430 that camestH935 from JudahH3063? And he saidH559, I am. 15Then he saidH559 unto him, ComeH3212 homeH1004 with me, and eatH398 breadH3899. 16And he saidH559, I mayH3201 not returnH7725 with thee, nor go inH935 with thee: neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 with thee in this placeH4725: 17For it was saidH1697 to me by the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, Thou shalt eatH398 no breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 there, nor turn againH7725 to goH3212 by the wayH1870 that thou camestH1980.2 18He saidH559 unto him, I am a prophetH5030 also as thou art; and an angelH4397 spakeH1696 unto me by the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, sayingH559, Bring him backH7725 with thee into thine houseH1004, that he may eatH398 breadH3899 and drinkH8354 waterH4325. But he liedH3584 unto him. 19So he went backH7725 with him, and did eatH398 breadH3899 in his houseH1004, and drankH8354 waterH4325.

20And it came to pass, as they satH3427 at the tableH7979, that the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 that brought him backH7725: 21And he criedH7121 unto the manH376 of GodH430 that cameH935 from JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Forasmuch asH3282 thou hast disobeyedH4784 the mouthH6310 of YhwhH3068, and hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee, 22But camest backH7725, and hast eatenH398 breadH3899 and drunkH8354 waterH4325 in the placeH4725, of the which the Lord did sayH1696 to thee, EatH398 no breadH3899, and drinkH8354 no waterH4325; thy carcaseH5038 shall not comeH935 unto the sepulchreH6913 of thy fathersH1.

23And it came to pass, afterH310 he had eatenH398 breadH3899, and afterH310 he had drunkH8354, that he saddledH2280 for him the donkeyH2543, to wit, for the prophetH5030 whom he had brought backH7725. 24And when he was goneH3212, a lionH738 metH4672 him by the wayH1870, and slewH4191 him: and his carcaseH5038 was castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the donkeyH2543 stoodH5975 byH681 it, the lionH738 also stoodH5975 by the carcaseH5038.
