Chapter 13
And,
behold,
there
came
a
man
of
God
out
of
Judah
by
the
word
of
the
Lord
unto
Beth-el:
and
Jeroboam
stood
by
the
altar
to
burn
incense.
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.
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
king
Jeroboam
heard
the
saying
of
the
man
of
God,
which
had
cried
against
the
altar
in
Beth-el,
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.
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,
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.
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,
Eat
no
bread,
nor
drink
water,
nor
turn
again
by
the
same
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
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
they
told
also
to
their
father.
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.
13
And
he
said
unto
his
sons,
Saddle
me
the
ass.
So
they
saddled
him
the
ass:
and
he
rode
thereon,
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.
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
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.
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
disobeyed
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
the
Lord
did
say
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
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.
27
And
he
spake
to
his
sons,
saying,
Saddle
me
the
ass.
And
they
saddled
him.
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
the
old
prophet
came
to
the
city,
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
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.
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.
