I - Chapter 13

1a man of Hashem arrived at Beit El from Yehuda at the command of Hashem. While Yerovam was standing on the altar to present the offering, the man of Hashem, at the command of Hashem, cried out against the altar:

2“O altar, altar! Thus said Hashem: A son shall be born to the House of David, Yoshiyahu by name; and he shall slaughter upon you the Kohanim of the shrines who bring offerings upon you. And human bones shall be burned upon you.”

3He gave a portent on that day, saying, “Here is the portent that Hashem has decreed: This altar shall break apart, and the ashes on it shall be spilled.”

4When the king heard what the man of Hashem had proclaimed against the altar in Beit El, Yerovam stretched out his arm above the altar and cried, “Seize him!” But the arm that he stretched out against him became rigid, and he could not draw it back.

5The altar broke apart and its ashes were spilled—the very portent that the man of Hashem had announced at Hashem's command.

6Then the king spoke up and said to the man of Hashem, “Please entreat Hashem your God and pray for me that I may be able to draw back my arm.” The man of Hashem entreated Hashem and the king was able to draw his arm back; it became as it was before.

7The king said to the man of Hashem, “Come with me to my house and have some refreshment; and I shall give you a gift.”

8But the man of Hashem replied to the king, “Even if you give me half your wealth, I will not go in with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water in this place;

11There was an old Navi living in Beit El; and his sons came and told him all the things that the man of Hashem had done that day in Beit El [and] the words that he had spoken to the king. When they told it to their father,
