1 Kings 13:1-22 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of LORD to Bethel. And Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of LORD to Bethel. And Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. ² And he cried against the altar by the word of LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus says LORD: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones they shall burn upon thee. ³ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. ⁴ And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam 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 draw it back again to him. ⁵ The altar also was torn, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of LORD. ⁶ And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of LORD thy God, and pray for me that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before. ⁷ And the king said to 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 to the king, If thou will give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place; ⁹ for so it was charged me by the word of LORD, saying, Thou shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou came. ¹⁰ So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. ¹¹ Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel. And one of 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 to the king, they also told them to their father. ¹² And their father said to them, What way did he go? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah. ¹³ And he said to his sons, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled him the donkey, and he rode on it. ¹⁴ And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. And he said to him, Are thou the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am. ¹⁵ Then he said to 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 LORD, Thou shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou came. ¹⁸ And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou are. And an agent spoke to me by the word of LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him. ¹⁹ So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. ²⁰ And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of LORD came to the prophet who brought him back. ²¹ And he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says LORD, Forasmuch as thou have been disobedient to the mouth of LORD, and have not kept the commandment which LORD thy God commanded thee, ²² but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water, thy body shall not come to the sepulcher of thy fathers.
