1
H935 [H8804]
And, behold, there came
H376
a man
H430
of God
H3063
out of Judah
H1697
by the word
H3068
of the LORD
H1008
to Bethel:
H3379
and Jeroboam
H5975 [H8802]
stood
H4196
by the altar
H6999 [H8687]
to burn incense.
2
H7121 [H8799]
And he called
H4196
against the altar
H1697
in the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H4196
O altar,
H4196
altar,
H559 [H8804]
thus saith
H3068
the LORD;
H1121
Behold, a child
H3205 [H8737]
shall be born
H1004
to the house
H1732
of David,
H2977
Josiah
H8034
by name;
H2076 [H8804]
and upon thee shall he offer
H3548
the priests
H1116
of the high places
H6999 [H8688]
that burn incense
H120
upon thee, and men's
H6106
bones
H8313 [H8799]
shall be burnt upon thee.
3
H5414 [H8804]
And he gave
H4159
a sign
H3117
the same day,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H4159
This is the sign
H3068
which the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
hath spoken;
H4196
Behold, the altar
H7167 [H8738]
shall be split apart,
H1880
and the ashes
H8210 [H8738]
that are upon it shall be poured out.
4
H4428
And it came to pass, when king
H3379
Jeroboam
H8085 [H8800]
heard
H1697
the saying
H376
of the man
H430
of God,
H7121 [H8804]
who had called
H4196
against the altar
H1008
in Bethel,
H7971 [H8799]
that he put forth
H3027
his hand
H4196
from the altar,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H8610 [H8798]
Lay hold
H3027
on him. And his hand,
H7971 [H8804]
which he put forth
H3001 [H8799]
against him, dried up,
H3201 [H8804]
so that he could
H7725 [H8687]
not draw it to him again.
5
H4196
The altar
H7167 [H8738]
also was split apart,
H1880
and the ashes
H8210 [H8735]
poured out
H4196
from the altar,
H4159
according to the sign
H376
which the man
H430
of God
H5414 [H8804]
had given
H1697
by the word
H3068
of the LORD.
6
H4428
And the king
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H376
to the man
H430
of God,
H2470 [H8761]
Entreat
H6440
now the face
H3068
of the LORD
H430
thy God,
H6419 [H8690]
and pray
H3027
for me, that my hand
H7725 [H8799]
may be restored to me again.
H376
And the man
H430
of God
H2470 H6440 [H8762]
besought
H3068
the LORD,
H4428
and the king's
H3027
hand
H7725 [H8799]
was restored to him again,
H7223
and became as it was before.
7
H4428
And the king
H1696 [H8762]
said
H376
to the man
H430
of God,
H935 [H8798]
Come
H1004
home
H5582 [H8798]
with me, and support
H5414 [H8799]
thyself, and I will give
H4991
thee a reward.
8
H376
And the man
H430
of God
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H5414 [H8799]
If thou wilt give
H2677
me half
H1004
thy house,
H935 [H8799]
I will not go in
H398 [H8799]
with thee, neither will I eat
H3899
bread
H8354 [H8799]
nor drink
H4325
water
H4725
in this place:
9
H6680 [H8765]
For so was it charged
H1697
me by the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H398 [H8799]
Eat
H3899
no bread,
H8354 [H8799]
nor drink
H4325
water,
H7725 [H8799]
nor turn again
H1870
by the same way
H1980 [H8804]
that thou camest.
10
H3212 [H8799]
So he went
H312
another
H1870
way,
H7725 [H8804]
and returned
H1870
not by the way
H935 [H8804]
that he came
H1008
to Bethel.
11
H3427 [H8802]
Now there dwelt
H259
an
H2205
old
H5030
prophet
H1008
in Bethel;
H1121
and his sons
H935 [H8799]
came
H5608 [H8762]
and told
H4639
him all the works
H376
that the man
H430
of God
H6213 [H8804]
had done
H3117
that day
H1008
in Bethel:
H1697
the words
H1696 [H8765]
which he had spoken
H4428
to the king,
H5608 [H8762]
them they told
H1
also to their father.
12
H1
And their father
H1696 [H8762]
said
H1870
to them, What way
H1980 [H8804]
went
H1121
he? For his sons
H7200 [H8799]
had seen
H335
what
H1870
way
H376
the man
H430
of God
H1980 [H8804]
went,
H935 [H8804]
who came
H3063
from Judah.
13
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H1121
to his sons,
H2280 [H8798]
Saddle
H2543
me the donkey.
H2280 [H8799]
So they saddled
H2543
him the donkey:
H7392 [H8799]
and he rode on it,
14
H3212 [H8799]
And went
H310
after
H376
the man
H430
of God,
H4672 [H8799]
and found
H3427 [H8802]
him sitting
H424
under an oak:
H559 [H8799]
and he said
H376
to him, Art thou the man
H430
of God
H935 [H8804]
that camest
H3063
from Judah?
H559 [H8799]
And he said, I am.
15
H559 [H8799]
Then he said
H3212 [H8798]
to him, Come
H1004
home
H398 [H8798]
with me, and eat
H3899
bread.
16
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H3201 [H8799]
I may
H7725 [H8800]
not return
H935 [H8800]
with thee, nor go in
H398 [H8799]
with thee: neither will I eat
H3899
bread
H8354 [H8799]
nor drink
H4325
water
H4725
with thee in this place:
17
H1697
For it was said
H1697
to me by the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H398 [H8799]
Thou shalt eat
H3899
no bread
H8354 [H8799]
nor drink
H4325
water
H7725 [H8799]
there, nor turn again
H3212 [H8800]
to go
H1870
by the way
H1980 [H8804]
that thou camest.
18
H559 [H8799]
He said
H5030
to him, I am a prophet
H4397
also as thou art; and a messenger
H1696 [H8765]
spoke
H1697
to me by the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H7725 [H8685]
Bring him back
H1004
with thee into thy house,
H398 [H8799]
that he may eat
H3899
bread
H8354 [H8799]
and drink
H4325
water.
H3584 [H8765]
But he lied to him.
19
H7725 [H8799]
So he went back
H398 [H8799]
with him, and ate
H3899
bread
H1004
in his house,
H8354 [H8799]
and drank
H4325
water.
20
H3427 [H8802]
And it came to pass, as they sat
H7979
at the table,
H1697
that the word
H3068
of the LORD
H5030
came to the prophet
H7725 [H8689]
that brought him back:
21
H7121 [H8799]
And he called
H376
to the man
H430
of God
H935 [H8804]
that came
H3063
from Judah,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD,
H3282
Forasmuch as
H4784 [H8804]
thou hast disobeyed
H6310
the mouth
H3068
of the LORD,
H8104 [H8804]
and hast not kept
H4687
the commandment
H3068
which the LORD
H430
thy God
H6680 [H8765]
commanded thee,
22
H7725 [H8799]
But hast returned,
H398 [H8799]
and hast eaten
H3899
bread
H8354 [H8799]
and drunk
H4325
water
H4725
in the place,
H1696 [H8765]
of which the LORD said
H398 [H8799]
to thee, Eat
H3899
no bread,
H8354 [H8799]
and drink
H4325
no water;
H5038
thy body
H935 [H8799]
shall not come
H6913
to the burying-place
H1
of thy fathers.
23
H310
And it came to pass, after
H398 [H8800]
he had eaten
H3899
bread,
H310
and after
H8354 [H8800]
he had drunk,
H2280 [H8799]
that he saddled
H2543
for him the donkey,
H5030
that is, for the prophet
H7725 [H8689]
whom he had brought back.
24
H3212 [H8799]
And when he had gone,
H738
a lion
H4672 [H8799]
met
H1870
him by the way,
H4191 [H8686]
and slew
H5038
him: and his body
H7993 [H8716]
was cast
H1870
in the way,
H2543
and the donkey
H5975 [H8802]
stood
H681
by
H738
it, the lion
H5975 [H8802]
also stood
H5038
by the body.
25
H582
And, behold, men
H5674 [H8802]
passed by,
H7200 [H8799]
and saw
H5038
the body
H7993 [H8716]
cast
H1870
in the way,
H738
and the lion
H5975 [H8802]
standing
H681
by
H5038
the body:
H935 [H8799]
and they came
H1696 [H8762]
and told
H5892
it in the city
H2205
where the old
H5030
prophet
H3427 [H8802]
dwelt.
26
H5030
And when the prophet
H7725 [H8689]
that brought him back
H1870
from the way
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H559 [H8799]
of it, he said,
H376
It is the man
H430
of God,
H4784 [H8804]
who was disobedient
H6310
to the mouth
H3068
of the LORD:
H3068
therefore the LORD
H5414 [H8799]
hath given
H738
him to the lion,
H7665 [H8799]
which hath torn
H4191 [H8686]
him, and slain
H1697
him, according to the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H1696 [H8765]
which he spoke to him.
27
H1696 [H8762]
And he spoke
H1121
to his sons,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H2280 [H8798]
Saddle
H2543
me the donkey.
H2280 [H8799]
And they saddled him.
28
H3212 [H8799]
And he went
H4672 [H8799]
and found
H5038
his body
H7993 [H8716]
cast
H1870
in the way,
H2543
and the donkey
H738
and the lion
H5975 [H8802]
standing
H681
by
H5038
the body:
H738
the lion
H398 [H8804]
had not eaten
H5038
the body,
H7665 [H8804]
nor torn
H2543
the donkey.
29
H5030
And the prophet
H5375 [H8799]
took up
H5038
the body
H376
of the man
H430
of God,
H3240 [H8686]
and laid
H2543
it upon the donkey,
H7725 [H8686]
and brought it back:
H2205
and the old
H5030
prophet
H935 [H8799]
came
H5892
to the city,
H5594 [H8800]
to mourn
H6912 [H8800]
and to bury him.
30
H3240 [H8686]
And he laid
H5038
his body
H6913
in his own burying-place;
H5594 [H8799]
and they mourned
H1945
over him, saying, Alas,
H251
my brother!
31
H310
And it came to pass, after
H6912 [H8800]
he had buried
H559 [H8799]
him, that he spoke
H1121
to his sons,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H4191 [H8800]
When I am dead,
H6912 [H8804]
then bury
H6913
me in the burying-place
H376
in which the man
H430
of God
H6912 [H8803]
is buried;
H3240 [H8685]
lay
H6106
my bones
H681
beside
H6106
his bones:
32
H1697
For the saying
H7121 [H8804]
which he called
H1697
by the word
H3068
of the LORD
H4196
against the altar
H1008
in Bethel,
H1004
and against all the houses
H1116
of the high places
H5892
which are in the cities
H8111
of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
33
H310
After
H1697
this thing
H3379
Jeroboam
H7725 [H8804]
returned
H7451
not from his evil
H1870
way,
H6213 [H8799]
but made
H7725 [H8799]
again
H7098
of the lowest
H5971
of the people
H3548
priests
H1116
of the high places:
H2655
whoever was pleased to be,
H4390 H3027 [H8762]
he consecrated
H3548
him, and he became one of the priests
H1116
of the high places.
