1 # And, behold, there came <0935> (8804) a man <0376> of God <0430> out of Judah <03063> by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Bethel <01008>: and Jeroboam <03379> stood <05975> (8802) by the altar <04196> to burn incense <06999> (8687).
2 And he cried <07121> (8799) against the altar <04196> in the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), O altar <04196>, altar <04196>, thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, a child <01121> shall be born <03205> (8737) unto the house <01004> of David <01732>, Josiah <02977> by name <08034>; and upon thee shall he offer <02076> (8804) the priests <03548> of the high places <01116> that burn incense <06999> (8688) upon thee, and men's <0120> bones <06106> shall be burnt <08313> (8799) upon thee.
3 And he gave <05414> (8804) a sign <04159> the same day <03117>, saying <0559> (8800), This is the sign <04159> which the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765); Behold, the altar <04196> shall be rent <07167> (8738), and the ashes <01880> that are upon it shall be poured out <08210> (8738).
4 And it came to pass, when king <04428> Jeroboam <03379> heard <08085> (8800) the saying <01697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>, which had cried <07121> (8804) against the altar <04196> in Bethel <01008>, that he put forth <07971> (8799) his hand <03027> from the altar <04196>, saying <0559> (8800), Lay hold <08610> (8798) on him. And his hand <03027>, which he put forth <07971> (8804) against him, dried up <03001> (8799), so that he could <03201> (8804) not pull it in again <07725> (8687) to him.
5 The altar <04196> also was rent <07167> (8738), and the ashes <01880> poured out <08210> (8735) from the altar <04196>, according to the sign <04159> which the man <0376> of God <0430> had given <05414> (8804) by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
6 And the king <04428> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto the man <0376> of God <0430>, Intreat <02470> (8761) now the face <06440> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and pray <06419> (8690) for me, that my hand <03027> may be restored me again <07725> (8799). And the man <0376> of God <0430> besought <02470> (8762) <06440> the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> hand <03027> was restored him again <07725> (8799), and became as it was before <07223>.
7 And the king <04428> said <01696> (8762) unto the man <0376> of God <0430>, Come <0935> (8798) home <01004> with me, and refresh <05582> (8798) thyself, and I will give <05414> (8799) thee a reward <04991>.
8 And the man <0376> of God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>, If thou wilt give <05414> (8799) me half <02677> thine house <01004>, I will not go in <0935> (8799) with thee, neither will I eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> nor drink <08354> (8799) water <04325> in this place <04725>:
9 For so was it charged <06680> (8765) me by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800) , Eat <0398> (8799) no bread <03899>, nor drink <08354> (8799) water <04325>, nor turn again <07725> (8799) by the same way <01870> that thou camest <01980> (8804).
10 So he went <03212> (8799) another <0312> way <01870>, and returned <07725> (8804) not by the way <01870> that he came <0935> (8804) to Bethel <01008>.
11 # Now there dwelt <03427> (8802) an <0259> old <02205> prophet <05030> in Bethel <01008>; and his sons <01121> came <0935> (8799) and told <05608> (8762) him all the works <04639> that the man <0376> of God <0430> had done <06213> (8804) that day <03117> in Bethel <01008>: the words <01697> which he had spoken <01696> (8765) unto the king <04428>, them they told <05608> (8762) also to their father <01>.
12 And their father <01> said <01696> (8762) unto them, What way <01870> went <01980> (8804) he? For his sons <01121> had seen <07200> (8799) what <0335> way <01870> the man <0376> of God <0430> went <01980> (8804), which came <0935> (8804) from Judah <03063>.
13 And he said <0559> (8799) unto his sons <01121>, Saddle <02280> (8798) me the ass <02543>. So they saddled <02280> (8799) him the ass <02543>: and he rode <07392> (8799) thereon,
14 And went <03212> (8799) after <0310> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and found <04672> (8799) him sitting <03427> (8802) under an oak <0424>: and he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou the man <0376> of God <0430> that camest <0935> (8804) from Judah <03063>? And he said <0559> (8799), I am.
15 Then he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Come <03212> (8798) home <01004> with me, and eat <0398> (8798) bread <03899>.
16 And he said <0559> (8799), I may <03201> (8799) not return <07725> (8800) with thee, nor go in <0935> (8800) with thee: neither will I eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> nor drink <08354> (8799) water <04325> with thee in this place <04725>:
17 For it was said <01697> to me by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799) no bread <03899> nor drink <08354> (8799) water <04325> there, nor turn again <07725> (8799) to go <03212> (8800) by the way <01870> that thou camest <01980> (8804).
18 He said <0559> (8799) unto him, I am a prophet <05030> also as thou art; and an angel <04397> spake <01696> (8765) unto me by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800), Bring him back <07725> (8685) with thee into thine house <01004>, that he may eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> and drink <08354> (8799) water <04325>. But he lied <03584> (8765) unto him.

19 So he went back <07725> (8799) with him, and did eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> in his house <01004> , and drank <08354> (8799) water <04325>.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat <03427> (8802) at the table <07979>, that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto the prophet <05030> that brought him back <07725> (8689):
21 And he cried <07121> (8799) unto the man <0376> of God <0430> that came <0935> (8804) from Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Forasmuch as <03282> thou hast disobeyed <04784> (8804) the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068>, and hast not kept <08104> (8804) the commandment <04687> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> commanded <06680> (8765) thee,
22 But camest back <07725> (8799), and hast eaten <0398> (8799) bread <03899> and drunk <08354> (8799) water <04325> in the place <04725>, of the which the LORD did say <01696> (8765) to thee, Eat <0398> (8799) no bread <03899>, and drink <08354> (8799) no water <04325>; thy carcase <05038> shall not come <0935> (8799) unto the sepulchre <06913> of thy fathers <01>.
23 # And it came to pass, after <0310> he had eaten <0398> (8800) bread <03899>, and after <0310> he had drunk <08354> (8800), that he saddled <02280> (8799) for him the ass <02543>, to wit, for the prophet <05030> whom he had brought back <07725> (8689).
24 And when he was gone <03212> (8799), a lion <0738> met <04672> (8799) him by the way <01870>, and slew <04191> (8686) him: and his carcase <05038> was cast <07993> (8716) in the way <01870>, and the ass <02543> stood <05975> (8802) by <0681> it, the lion <0738> also stood <05975> (8802) by the carcase <05038>.
25 And, behold, men <0582> passed by <05674> (8802), and saw <07200> (8799) the carcase <05038> cast <07993> (8716) in the way <01870>, and the lion <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681> the carcase <05038> : and they came <0935> (8799) and told <01696> (8762) it in the city <05892> where the old <02205> prophet <05030> dwelt <03427> (8802).
26 And when the prophet <05030> that brought him back <07725> (8689) from the way <01870> heard <08085> (8799) thereof, he said <0559> (8799), It is the man <0376> of God <0430>, who was disobedient <04784> (8804) unto the word <06310> of the LORD <03068>: therefore the LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> (8799) him unto the lion <0738> , which hath torn <07665> (8799) him, and slain <04191> (8686) him, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, which he spake <01696> (8765) unto him.
27 And he spake <01696> (8762) to his sons <01121>, saying <0559> (8800), Saddle <02280> (8798) me the ass <02543>. And they saddled <02280> (8799) him.
28 And he went <03212> (8799) and found <04672> (8799) his carcase <05038> cast <07993> (8716) in the way <01870>, and the ass <02543> and the lion <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681> the carcase <05038> : the lion <0738> had not eaten <0398> (8804) the carcase <05038>, nor torn <07665> (8804) the ass <02543>.
29 And the prophet <05030> took up <05375> (8799) the carcase <05038> of the man <0376> of God <0430> , and laid <03240> (8686) it upon the ass <02543>, and brought it back <07725> (8686): and the old <02205> prophet <05030> came <0935> (8799) to the city <05892>, to mourn <05594> (8800) and to bury <06912> (8800) him.
30 And he laid <03240> (8686) his carcase <05038> in his own grave <06913>; and they mourned <05594> (8799) over him, saying, Alas <01945>, my brother <0251>!
31 And it came to pass, after <0310> he had buried <06912> (8800) him, that he spake <0559> (8799) to his sons <01121>, saying <0559> (8800), When I am dead <04191> (8800), then bury <06912> (8804) me in the sepulchre <06913> wherein the man <0376> of God <0430> is buried <06912> (8803); lay <03240> (8685) my bones <06106> beside <0681> his bones <06106>:
32 For the saying <01697> which he cried <07121> (8804) by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> against the altar <04196> in Bethel <01008>, and against all the houses <01004> of the high places <01116> which are in the cities <05892> of Samaria <08111>, shall surely come to pass.
33 After <0310> this thing <01697> Jeroboam <03379> returned <07725> (8804) not from his evil <07451> way <01870>, but made <06213> (8799) again <07725> (8799) of the lowest <07098> of the people <05971> priests <03548> of the high places <01116>: whosoever would <02655>, he consecrated <04390> (8762) <03027> him, and he became one of the priests <03548> of the high places <01116>.
34 And this thing <01697> became sin <02403> unto the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>, even to cut it off <03582> (8687), and to destroy <08045> (8687) it from off the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.
