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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
And the king
answered
and said
unto the man
of God,
Intreat
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.

And the king
said
unto the man
of God,
Come
home
with me, and refresh
thyself, and I will give
thee a reward.
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:
say
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.
So he went
another
way,
and returned
not by the way
that he came
to Bethel.
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.

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.
And he said
unto his sons,
Saddle
me the ass.
So they saddled
him the ass:
and he rode
thereon,
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.

Then he said
unto him, Come
home
with me, and eat
bread.
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:
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.
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.
say
So he went back
with him, and did eat
bread
in his house,
and drank
water.
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:
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,
say
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
And he spake
to his sons,
saying,
Saddle
me the ass.
And they saddled
him.
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.
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.
And he laid
his carcase
in his own grave;
and they mourned
over him, saying, Alas,
my brother!
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:
say
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.

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.

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.
