1 Kings 13:1-10

1And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to BethelH1008: and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999.1 2And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 to 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 the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696; Behold, the altarH4196 shall be split apartH7167, 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, who had criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, 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 draw itH7725 to him again. 5The altarH4196 also was split apartH7167, and the ashesH1880 poured outH8210 from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 which the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 6And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, EntreatH2470 now the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may be restored to me againH7725. And the manH376 of GodH430 besoughtH2470H6440 the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 handH3027 was restored to him againH7725, and became as it was beforeH7223.2 7And the kingH4428 saidH1696 to the manH376 of GodH430, ComeH935 homeH1004 with me, and refreshH5582 thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a rewardH4991. 8And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559 to the kingH4428, If thou wilt giveH5414 me halfH2677 thy 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 the LORDH3068, 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 BethelH1008.
