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.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then he gave a miraculous sign the same day, saying, “This is the miraculous sign which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn apart and the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Now 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>The altar also was torn apart and the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the miraculous sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>entreat Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>entreated Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a gift.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But the man of God said to the king, “If 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>For so <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>it 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.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel. <p class="hdg">The Prophet Rebels Against Yahweh</p><p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>sons came and recounted to him all the work which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they recounted to their father. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And their father said to them, “<span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Which way did he go?” And his sons <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>an oak; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And he said, “I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>For a word <i>came</i> to me by the word of Yahweh, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there;

<span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>and he called out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have rebelled against the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>word of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you, <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, “Eat no bread and drink no water”; your body shall not come to the grave of your fathers.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Now it happened after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Then he went and on the way a lion met him and put him to death, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road, and the lion standing beside the body; so they came and spoke <i>about it</i> in the city where the old prophet lived. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then the prophet, who brought him back from the way, heard <i>it</i> and said, “It is the man of God, who rebelled against the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>command of Yahweh; therefore Yahweh has given him to the lion, which has mauled him and put him to death, according to the word of Yahweh which He spoke to him.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Then he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And they saddled <i>it</i>. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And he went and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body; the lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>So the prophet took up the body of the man of God and laid it on the donkey and brought it back, and he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>He laid his body in his own grave, and they mourned over him, <i>saying</i>, “Alas, my brother!” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Now it happened after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I die, you shall bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>For the word shall surely happen which he cried by the word of Yahweh against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria.” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>After this event Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but he returned and made priests of the high places from among <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>all the people;

So <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>they became priests of the high places. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/13-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span><span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>And this event became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to blot <i>it</i> out and destroy <i>it</i> from off the face of the earth.<A name="fn"></a></p><br /><br /><span class="fnverse">3</span> Lit <i>ashes of fat</i><br><span class="fnverse">5</span> Lit <i>ashes of fat</i><br><span class="fnverse">6</span> Lit <i>soften the face of</i><br><span class="fnverse">6</span> Lit <i>softened the face of</i><br><span class="fnverse">9</span> Lit <i>he commanded me</i><br><span class="fnverse">11</span> Lit <i>son</i><br><span class="fnverse">12</span> Lit <i>Where is the way he went</i><br><span class="fnverse">12</span> Some ancient versions <i>showed him</i><br><span class="fnverse">14</span> Or a <i>terebinth</i><br><span class="fnverse">21</span> Lit <i>mouth</i><br><span class="fnverse">26</span> Lit <i>mouth</i><br><span class="fnverse">33</span> Or <i>the extremities of</i><br><span class="fnverse">33</span> Lit <i>he</i><br><span class="fnverse">34</span> Lit <i>by this thing he became</i><br></div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation<br>All rights reserved.
