1 Kings 12:33-13:10
33Then he 1went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had 2,adevised 3in his own heart; and he made a feast for the sons of Israel and 4went up to the altar bto burn 5incense.
The Altar Shall Be Torn Apart
13Now behold, there came aa man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of Yahweh, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar bto burn incense. 2aAnd he cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, “O altar, altar, thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, bJosiah is his name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’” 3Then he gave a miraculous sign the same day, saying, “aThis is the miraculous sign which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn apart and the 1ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’” 4Now it happened that when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself. 5The altar also was torn apart and the 1ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the miraculous sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh. 6Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please 1,aentreat Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So bthe man of God 2entreated Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before. 7Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and aI will give you a gift.” 8But the man of God said to the king, “aIf you were to give me half your house, I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place. 9“For so 1it was commanded me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.’” 10So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.
