11_1KI_13_01 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 .
11_1KI_13_02 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 .
11_1KI_13_03 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 .
11_1KI_13_04 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 .
11_1KI_13_05 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 .
11_1KI_13_06 And the king answered And said unto the man of God , entreat 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 .
11_1KI_13_07 And the king said unto the man of God , come home with me , And refresh thyself , And I will give thee A reward .
11_1KI_13_08 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 :
11_1KI_13_09 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 .
11_1KI_13_10 So he went another way , And returned not by the way that he came to Bethel .
11_1KI_13_11 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 .
11_1KI_13_12 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 .
11_1KI_13_13 And he said unto his sons , saddle me the ass . So they saddled him the ass : And he rode thereon ,
11_1KI_13_14 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 ] .
11_1KI_13_15 Then he said unto him , come home with me , And eat bread .
11_1KI_13_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 :
11_1KI_13_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 .
11_1KI_13_18 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 .
11_1KI_13_19 So he went back with him , And did eat bread in his house , And drank water .
11_1KI_13_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 :
11_1KI_13_21 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 ,
11_1KI_13_22 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 .
11_1KI_13_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 .
11_1KI_13_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 .
11_1KI_13_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 .
11_1KI_13_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 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 .
11_1KI_13_27 And he spake to his sons , saying , saddle me the ass . And they saddled [ him ] .
11_1KI_13_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 .
11_1KI_13_29 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 .
11_1KI_13_30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave ; And they mourned over him , [ saying ] , Alas , my brother !
11_1KI_13_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 :
11_1KI_13_32 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 .
11_1KI_13_33 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 .
11_1KI_13_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 .
