1KI-13:1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by
the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the
altar to burn incense.
1KI-13:2 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 high places that burn
incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
1KI-13:3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the
sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent,
and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
1KI-13:4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the
saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in
Bethel, 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.
1KI-13:5 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.
1KI-13:6 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.
1KI-13:7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with
me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
1KI-13:8 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:
1KI-13:9 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.
1KI-13:10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way
that he came to Bethel.
1KI-13:11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons
came and told him all the works that the man of God had done
that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king,
them they told also to their father.
1KI-13:12 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.
1KI-13:13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they
saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
1KI-13:14 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].
1KI-13:15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat
bread.
1KI-13:16 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:
1KI-13:17 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.
1KI-13:18 He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art];
and an 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 drink water. [But] he lied unto him.
1KI-13:19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his
house, and drank water.
1KI-13:20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that
the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
1KI-13:21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah,
saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed
the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which
the LORD thy God commanded thee,
1KI-13:22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water
in the place, of the which [the LORD] did say to thee, Eat no
bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the
sepulchre of thy fathers.
1KI-13:23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and
after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit],
for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1KI-13:24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and
slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood
by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
1KI-13:25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast
in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came
and told [it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
1KI-13:26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the
way heard [thereof], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was
disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath
delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
1KI-13:27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass.
And they saddled [him].
1KI-13:28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and
the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not
eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
1KI-13:29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God,
and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old
prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
1KI-13:30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they
mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
1KI-13:31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he
spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the
sepulchre wherein the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones
beside his bones:
1KI-13:32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD
against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the
high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely
come to pass.
1KI-13:33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil
way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the
high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became
[one] of the priests of the high places.
1KI-13:34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam,
even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of
the earth.
