1 Kings 13:1
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:3 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:4 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:6 |
|
And the king answered and said unto the man
of God, Intreat 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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:7 |
|
And the king said unto the man of God, Come
home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:8 |
|
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: |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:9 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:10 |
|
So he went another way, and returned not by
the way that he came to Bethel. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:13 |
|
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass.
So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon, |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:15 |
|
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and
eat bread. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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: |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:19 |
|
So he went back with him, and did eat bread
in his house, and drank water. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 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: |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 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, |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:27 |
|
And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me
the ass. And they saddled him. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 13:30 |
|
And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and
they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 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. |
