1 Kings 13
And,
behold,
there
came
a
man
of
God
out
of
Judah
by
the
word
of
the
Lord
unto
Beth-el:
and
Jeroboam
stood
by
the
altar
to
burn
incense.
2 And
he
cried
against
the
altar
in
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
said,
O
altar,
altar,
thus
saith
the
Lord;
Behold,
a
child
shall
be
born
unto
the
house
of
David,
Josiah
by
name;
and
upon
thee
shall
he
offer
the
priests
of
the
a
high
places
that
burn
incense
upon
thee,
and
men's
bones
shall
be
b
burnt
upon
thee.
3 And
he
gave
a
sign
the
same
day,
saying,
This
is
the
sign
which
the
Lord
hath
spoken;
Behold,
the
altar
shall
be
a
rent,
and
the
ashes
that
are
upon
it
shall
be
poured
out.
4 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
king
Jeroboam
heard
the
saying
of
the
man
of
God,
which
had
cried
against
the
altar
in
Beth-el,
that
he
put
forth
his
hand
from
the
altar,
saying,
Lay
hold
on
him.
And
his
hand,
which
he
put
forth
against
him,
dried
up,
so
that
he
could
not
pull
it
in
again
to
him.
5 The
altar
also
was
rent,
and
the
ashes
poured
out
from
the
altar,
according
to
the
sign
which
the
man
of
God
had
given
by
the
word
of
the
Lord.
6 And
the
king
answered
and
said
unto
the
man
of
God,
Entreat
now
the
face
of
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
pray
for
me,
that
my
hand
may
be
restored
me
again.
And
the
man
of
God
besought
the
Lord,
and
the
king's
hand
was
restored
him
again,
and
became
as
it
was
before.
7 And
the
king
said
unto
the
man
of
God,
Come
home
with
me,
and
refresh
thyself,
and
I
will
give
thee
a
reward.
8 And
the
man
of
God
said
unto
the
king,
If
thou
wilt
give
me
half
thine
house,
I
will
not
go
in
with
thee,
neither
will
I
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
in
this
place:
9 For
so
was
it
charged
me
by
the
word
of
the
Lord,
saying,
Eat
no
bread,
nor
drink
water,
nor
turn
again
by
the
same
way
that
thou
camest.
10 So
he
went
another
way,
and
returned
not
by
the
way
that
he
came
to
Beth-el.
11 Now
there
dwelt
an
old
prophet
in
Beth-el;
and
his
sons
came
and
told
him
all
the
works
that
the
man
of
God
had
done
that
day
in
Beth-el:
the
words
which
he
had
spoken
unto
the
king,
them
they
told
also
to
their
father.
12 And
their
father
said
unto
them,
What
way
went
he?
For
his
sons
had
seen
what
way
the
man
of
God
went,
which
came
from
Judah.
13 And
he
said
unto
his
sons,
Saddle
me
the
ass.
So
they
saddled
him
the
ass:
and
he
rode
thereon,
14 And
went
after
the
man
of
God,
and
found
him
sitting
under
an
oak:
and
he
said
unto
him,
Art
thou
the
man
of
God
that
camest
from
Judah?
And
he
said,
I
am.
15 Then
he
said
unto
him,
Come
home
with
me,
and
eat
bread.
16 And
he
said,
I
may
not
return
with
thee,
nor
go
in
with
thee:
neither
will
I
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
with
thee
in
this
place:
17 For
it
was
said
to
me
by
the
word
of
the
Lord,
Thou
shalt
eat
no
bread
nor
drink
water
there,
nor
turn
again
to
go
by
the
way
that
thou
camest.
18 He
said
unto
him,
I
am
a
prophet
also
as
thou
art;
and
an
a
angel
spake
unto
me
by
the
word
of
the
Lord,
saying,
Bring
him
back
with
thee
into
thine
house,
that
he
may
eat
bread
and
b
drink
water.
But
he
lied
unto
him.
19 So
he
went
back
with
him,
and
did
eat
bread
in
his
house,
and
drank
water.
