13:1 And
behold,
a
man
of
God
came
out
of
Judah
by
the
word
of
the
LORD
to
Bethel.
Jeroboam
was
standing
by
the
altar
to
make
offerings.
13:2 And
the
man
cried
against
the
altar
by
the
word
of
the
LORD
and
said,
"O
altar,
altar,
thus
says
the
LORD:
'Behold,
a
son
shall
be
born
to
the
house
of
David,
Josiah
by
name,
and
he
shall
sacrifice
on
you
the
priests
of
the
high
places
who
make
offerings
on
you,
and
human
bones
shall
be
burned
on
you.'"
13:3 And
he
gave
a
sign
the
same
day,
saying,
"This
is
the
sign
that
the
LORD
has
spoken:
'Behold,
the
altar
shall
be
torn
down,
and
the
ashes
that
are
on
it
shall
be
poured
out.'"
13:4 And
when
the
king
heard
the
saying
of
the
man
of
God,
which
he
cried
against
the
altar
at
Bethel,
Jeroboam
stretched
out
his
hand
from
the
altar,
saying,
"Seize
him."
And
his
hand,
which
he
stretched
out
against
him,
dried
up,
so
that
he
could
not
draw
it
back
to
himself.
13:5 The
altar
also
was
torn
down,
and
the
ashes
poured
out
from
the
altar,
according
to
the
sign
that
the
man
of
God
had
given
by
the
word
of
the
LORD.
13:6 And
the
king
said
to
the
man
of
God,
"Entreat
now
the
favor
of
the
LORD
your
God,
and
pray
for
me,
that
my
hand
may
be
restored
to
me."
And
the
man
of
God
entreated
the
LORD,
and
the
king's
hand
was
restored
to
him
and
became
as
it
was
before.
13:7 And
the
king
said
to
the
man
of
God,
"Come
home
with
me,
and
refresh
yourself,
and
I
will
give
you
a
reward."
13:8 And
the
man
of
God
said
to
the
king,
"If
you
give
me
half
your
house,
I
will
not
go
in
with
you.
And
I
will
not
eat
bread
or
drink
water
in
this
place,
13:9 for
so
was
it
commanded
me
by
the
word
of
the
LORD,
saying,
'You
shall
neither
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
nor
return
by
the
way
that
you
came.'"
13:10 So
he
went
another
way
and
did
not
return
by
the
way
that
he
came
to
Bethel.
13:11 Now
an
old
prophet
lived
in
Bethel.
And
his
sons
came
and
told
him
all
that
the
man
of
God
had
done
that
day
in
Bethel.
They
also
told
to
their
father
the
words
that
he
had
spoken
to
the
king.
13:12 And
their
father
said
to
them,
"Which
way
did
he
go"
And
his
sons
showed
him
the
way
that
the
man
of
God
who
came
from
Judah
had
gone.
13:13 And
he
said
to
his
sons,
"Saddle
the
donkey
for
me."
So
they
saddled
the
donkey
for
him
and
he
mounted
it.
13:14 And
he
went
after
the
man
of
God
and
found
him
sitting
under
an
oak.
And
he
said
to
him,
"Are
you
the
man
of
God
who
came
from
Judah"
And
he
said,
"I
am."
13:15 Then
he
said
to
him,
"Come
home
with
me
and
eat
bread."
13:16 And
he
said,
"I
may
not
return
with
you,
or
go
in
with
you,
neither
will
I
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
with
you
in
this
place,
13:17 for
it
was
said
to
me
by
the
word
of
the
LORD,
'You
shall
neither
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
there,
nor
return
by
the
way
that
you
came.'"
13:18 And
he
said
to
him,
"I
also
am
a
prophet
as
you
are,
and
an
angel
spoke
to
me
by
the
word
of
the
LORD,
saying,
'Bring
him
back
with
you
into
your
house
that
he
may
eat
bread
and
drink
water.'"
But
he
lied
to
him.
13:19 So
he
went
back
with
him
and
ate
bread
in
his
house
and
drank
water.
13:20 And
as
they
sat
at
the
table,
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
the
prophet
who
had
brought
him
back.
13:21 And
he
cried
to
the
man
of
God
who
came
from
Judah,
"Thus
says
the
LORD,
'Because
you
have
disobeyed
the
word
of
the
LORD
and
have
not
kept
the
command
that
the
LORD
your
God
commanded
you,
13:22 but
have
come
back
and
have
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
tomb
of
your
fathers.'"
13:23 And
after
he
had
eaten
bread
and
drunk,
he
saddled
the
donkey
for
the
prophet
whom
he
had
brought
back.
13:24 And
as
he
went
away
a
lion
met
him
on
the
road
and
killed
him.
And
his
body
was
thrown
in
the
road,
and
the
donkey
stood
beside
it;
the
lion
also
stood
beside
the
body.
13:25 And
behold,
men
passed
by
and
saw
the
body
thrown
in
the
road
and
the
lion
standing
by
the
body.
And
they
came
and
told
it
in
the
city
where
the
old
prophet
lived.
13:26 And
when
the
prophet
who
had
brought
him
back
from
the
way
heard
of
it,
he
said,
"It
is
the
man
of
God
who
disobeyed
the
word
of
the
LORD;
therefore
the
LORD
has
given
him
to
the
lion,
which
has
torn
him
and
killed
him,
according
to
the
word
that
the
LORD
spoke
to
him."
13:27 And
he
said
to
his
sons,
"Saddle
the
donkey
for
me."
And
they
saddled
it.
13:28 And
he
went
and
found
his
body
thrown
in
the
road,
and
the
donkey
and
the
lion
standing
beside
the
body.
The
lion
had
not
eaten
the
body
or
torn
the
donkey.
13:29 And
the
prophet
took
up
the
body
of
the
man
of
God
and
laid
it
on
the
donkey
and
brought
it
back
to
the
city
to
mourn
and
to
bury
him.
13:30 And
he
laid
the
body
in
his
own
grave.
And
they
mourned
over
him,
saying,
"Alas,
my
brother!"
13:31 And
after
he
had
buried
him,
he
said
to
his
sons,
"When
I
die,
bury
me
in
the
grave
in
which
the
man
of
God
is
buried;
lay
my
bones
beside
his
bones.
13:32 For
the
saying
that
he
called
out
by
the
word
of
the
LORD
against
the
altar
in
Bethel
and
against
all
the
houses
of
the
high
places
that
are
in
the
cities
of
Samaria
shall
surely
come
to
pass."
13:33 After
this
thing
Jeroboam
did
not
turn
from
his
evil
way,
but
made
priests
for
the
high
places
again
from
among
all
the
people.
Any
who
would,
he
ordained
to
be
priests
of
the
high
places.
13:34 And
this
thing
became
sin
to
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
so
as
to
cut
it
off
and
to
destroy
it
from
the
face
of
the
earth.
