KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H935 And, behold, there came [H8804]   H376 a man H430 of God H3063 out of Judah H1697 by the word H3068 of the LORD H1008 unto Bethel H3379 : and Jeroboam H5975 stood [H8802]   H4196 by the altar H6999 to burn incense [H8687]  .
  2 H7121 And he cried [H8799]   H4196 against the altar H1697 in the word H3068 of the LORD H559 , and said [H8799]   H4196 , O altar H4196 , altar H559 , thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H1121 ; Behold, a child H3205 shall be born [H8737]   H1004 unto the house H1732 of David H2977 , Josiah H8034 by name H2076 ; and upon thee shall he offer [H8804]   H3548 the priests H1116 of the high places H6999 that burn incense [H8688]   H120 upon thee, and men's H6106 bones H8313 shall be burnt [H8799]   upon thee.
  3 H5414 And he gave [H8804]   H4159 a sign H3117 the same day H559 , saying [H8800]   H4159 , This is the sign H3068 which the LORD H1696 hath spoken [H8765]   H4196 ; Behold, the altar H7167 shall be rent [H8738]   H1880 , and the ashes H8210 that are upon it shall be poured out [H8738]  .
  4 H4428 And it came to pass, when king H3379 Jeroboam H8085 heard [H8800]   H1697 the saying H376 of the man H430 of God H7121 , which had cried [H8804]   H4196 against the altar H1008 in Bethel H7971 , that he put forth [H8799]   H3027 his hand H4196 from the altar H559 , saying [H8800]   H8610 , Lay hold [H8798]   H3027 on him. And his hand H7971 , which he put forth [H8804]   H3001 against him, dried up [H8799]   H3201 , so that he could [H8804]   H7725 not pull it in again [H8687]   to him.
  5 H4196 The altar H7167 also was rent [H8738]   H1880 , and the ashes H8210 poured out [H8735]   H4196 from the altar H4159 , according to the sign H376 which the man H430 of God H5414 had given [H8804]   H1697 by the word H3068 of the LORD.
  6 H4428 And the king H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H376 unto the man H430 of God H2470 , Intreat [H8761]   H6440 now the face H3068 of the LORD H430 thy God H6419 , and pray [H8690]   H3027 for me, that my hand H7725 may be restored me again [H8799]   H376 . And the man H430 of God H2470 besought [H8762]   H6440   H3068 the LORD H4428 , and the king's H3027 hand H7725 was restored him again [H8799]   H7223 , and became as it was before.
  7 H4428 And the king H1696 said [H8762]   H376 unto the man H430 of God H935 , Come [H8798]   H1004 home H5582 with me, and refresh [H8798]   H5414 thyself, and I will give [H8799]   H4991 thee a reward.
  8 H376 And the man H430 of God H559 said [H8799]   H4428 unto the king H5414 , If thou wilt give [H8799]   H2677 me half H1004 thine house H935 , I will not go in [H8799]   H398 with thee, neither will I eat [H8799]   H3899 bread H8354 nor drink [H8799]   H4325 water H4725 in this place:
  9 H6680 For so was it charged [H8765]   H1697 me by the word H3068 of the LORD H559 , saying [H8800]   H398 , Eat [H8799]   H3899 no bread H8354 , nor drink [H8799]   H4325 water H7725 , nor turn again [H8799]   H1870 by the same way H1980 that thou camest [H8804]  .
  10 H3212 So he went [H8799]   H312 another H1870 way H7725 , and returned [H8804]   H1870 not by the way H935 that he came [H8804]   H1008 to Bethel.
  11 H3427 Now there dwelt [H8802]   H259 an H2205 old H5030 prophet H1008 in Bethel H1121 ; and his sons H935 came [H8799]   H5608 and told [H8762]   H4639 him all the works H376 that the man H430 of God H6213 had done [H8804]   H3117 that day H1008 in Bethel H1697 : the words H1696 which he had spoken [H8765]   H4428 unto the king H5608 , them they told [H8762]   H1 also to their father.
  12 H1 And their father H1696 said [H8762]   H1870 unto them, What way H1980 went [H8804]   H1121 he? For his sons H7200 had seen [H8799]   H335 what H1870 way H376 the man H430 of God H1980 went [H8804]   H935 , which came [H8804]   H3063 from Judah.
  13 H559 And he said [H8799]   H1121 unto his sons H2280 , Saddle [H8798]   H2543 me the ass H2280 . So they saddled [H8799]   H2543 him the ass H7392 : and he rode [H8799]   thereon,
  14 H3212 And went [H8799]   H310 after H376 the man H430 of God H4672 , and found [H8799]   H3427 him sitting [H8802]   H424 under an oak H559 : and he said [H8799]   H376 unto him, Art thou the man H430 of God H935 that camest [H8804]   H3063 from Judah H559 ? And he said [H8799]  , I am .
  15 H559 Then he said [H8799]   H3212 unto him, Come [H8798]   H1004 home H398 with me, and eat [H8798]   H3899 bread.
  16 H559 And he said [H8799]   H3201 , I may [H8799]   H7725 not return [H8800]   H935 with thee, nor go in [H8800]   H398 with thee: neither will I eat [H8799]   H3899 bread H8354 nor drink [H8799]   H4325 water H4725 with thee in this place:
  17 H1697 For it was said H1697 to me by the word H3068 of the LORD H398 , Thou shalt eat [H8799]   H3899 no bread H8354 nor drink [H8799]   H4325 water H7725 there, nor turn again [H8799]   H3212 to go [H8800]   H1870 by the way H1980 that thou camest [H8804]  .
  18 H559 He said [H8799]   H5030 unto him, I am a prophet H4397 also as thou art; and an angel H1696 spake [H8765]   H1697 unto me by the word H3068 of the LORD H559 , saying [H8800]   H7725 , Bring him back [H8685]   H1004 with thee into thine house H398 , that he may eat [H8799]   H3899 bread H8354 and drink [H8799]   H4325 water H3584 . But he lied [H8765]   unto him.
  19 H7725 So he went back [H8799]   H398 with him, and did eat [H8799]   H3899 bread H1004 in his house H8354 , and drank [H8799]   H4325 water.
  20 H3427 And it came to pass, as they sat [H8802]   H7979 at the table H1697 , that the word H3068 of the LORD H5030 came unto the prophet H7725 that brought him back [H8689]  :
  21 H7121 And he cried [H8799]   H376 unto the man H430 of God H935 that came [H8804]   H3063 from Judah H559 , saying [H8800]   H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H3282 , Forasmuch as H4784 thou hast disobeyed [H8804]   H6310 the mouth H3068 of the LORD H8104 , and hast not kept [H8804]   H4687 the commandment H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H6680 commanded [H8765]   thee,
  22 H7725 But camest back [H8799]   H398 , and hast eaten [H8799]   H3899 bread H8354 and drunk [H8799]   H4325 water H4725 in the place H1696 , of the which the LORD did say [H8765]   H398 to thee, Eat [H8799]   H3899 no bread H8354 , and drink [H8799]   H4325 no water H5038 ; thy carcase H935 shall not come [H8799]   H6913 unto the sepulchre H1 of thy fathers.
  23 H310 And it came to pass, after H398 he had eaten [H8800]   H3899 bread H310 , and after H8354 he had drunk [H8800]   H2280 , that he saddled [H8799]   H2543 for him the ass H5030 , to wit, for the prophet H7725 whom he had brought back [H8689]  .
  24 H3212 And when he was gone [H8799]   H738 , a lion H4672 met [H8799]   H1870 him by the way H4191 , and slew [H8686]   H5038 him: and his carcase H7993 was cast [H8716]   H1870 in the way H2543 , and the ass H5975 stood [H8802]   H681 by H738 it, the lion H5975 also stood [H8802]   H5038 by the carcase.
  25 H582 And, behold, men H5674 passed by [H8802]   H7200 , and saw [H8799]   H5038 the carcase H7993 cast [H8716]   H1870 in the way H738 , and the lion H5975 standing [H8802]   H681 by H5038 the carcase H935 : and they came [H8799]   H1696 and told [H8762]   H5892 it in the city H2205 where the old H5030 prophet H3427 dwelt [H8802]  .
  26 H5030 And when the prophet H7725 that brought him back [H8689]   H1870 from the way H8085 heard [H8799]   H559 thereof, he said [H8799]   H376 , It is the man H430 of God H4784 , who was disobedient [H8804]   H6310 unto the word H3068 of the LORD H3068 : therefore the LORD H5414 hath delivered [H8799]   H738 him unto the lion H7665 , which hath torn [H8799]   H4191 him, and slain [H8686]   H1697 him, according to the word H3068 of the LORD H1696 , which he spake [H8765]   unto him.
  27 H1696 And he spake [H8762]   H1121 to his sons H559 , saying [H8800]   H2280 , Saddle [H8798]   H2543 me the ass H2280 . And they saddled [H8799]   him .
  28 H3212 And he went [H8799]   H4672 and found [H8799]   H5038 his carcase H7993 cast [H8716]   H1870 in the way H2543 , and the ass H738 and the lion H5975 standing [H8802]   H681 by H5038 the carcase H738 : the lion H398 had not eaten [H8804]   H5038 the carcase H7665 , nor torn [H8804]   H2543 the ass.
  29 H5030 And the prophet H5375 took up [H8799]   H5038 the carcase H376 of the man H430 of God H3240 , and laid [H8686]   H2543 it upon the ass H7725 , and brought it back [H8686]   H2205 : and the old H5030 prophet H935 came [H8799]   H5892 to the city H5594 , to mourn [H8800]   H6912 and to bury [H8800]   him.
  30 H3240 And he laid [H8686]   H5038 his carcase H6913 in his own grave H5594 ; and they mourned [H8799]   H1945 over him, saying, Alas H251 , my brother!
  31 H310 And it came to pass, after H6912 he had buried [H8800]   H559 him, that he spake [H8799]   H1121 to his sons H559 , saying [H8800]   H4191 , When I am dead [H8800]   H6912 , then bury [H8804]   H6913 me in the sepulchre H376 wherein the man H430 of God H6912 is buried [H8803]   H3240 ; lay [H8685]   H6106 my bones H681 beside H6106 his bones:
  32 H1697 For the saying H7121 which he cried [H8804]   H1697 by the word H3068 of the LORD H4196 against the altar H1008 in Bethel H1004 , and against all the houses H1116 of the high places H5892 which are in the cities H8111 of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
  33 H310 After H1697 this thing H3379 Jeroboam H7725 returned [H8804]   H7451 not from his evil H1870 way H6213 , but made [H8799]   H7725 again [H8799]   H7098 of the lowest H5971 of the people H3548 priests H1116 of the high places H2655 : whosoever would H4390 , he consecrated [H8762]   H3027   H3548 him, and he became one of the priests H1116 of the high places.
  34 H1697 And this thing H2403 became sin H1004 unto the house H3379 of Jeroboam H3582 , even to cut it off [H8687]   H8045 , and to destroy [H8687]   H6440 it from off the face H127 of the earth.
ERV(i) 1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. 2 And he cried against the altar by 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 sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn upon thee. 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. 4 And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, 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 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. 6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favour of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 7 And the king said unto 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 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: 9 for so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest. 10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. 11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father. 12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. 13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon. 14 And he 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. 15 Then he said unto 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 the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 18 And he said unto him, I also am a prophet 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. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. 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: 21 and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 22 but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of the which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 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. 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. 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. 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 mouth 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. 27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it. 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. 29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him. 30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother! 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. 32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places. 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.
