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.
|
2. And he cried H7121 against H5921 the altar H4196 in the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , and said H559 , O altar H4196 , altar H4196 , thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Behold H2009 , a child H1121 shall be born H3205 unto the house H1004 of David H1732 , Josiah H2977 by name H8034 ; and upon H5921 thee shall he offer H2076 H853 the priests H3548 of the high places H1116 that burn incense H6999 upon H5921 thee , and men H120 's bones H6106 shall be burnt H8313 upon H5921 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.
|
3. And he gave H5414 a sign H4159 the same H1931 day H3117 , saying H559 , This H2088 is the sign H4159 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 ; Behold H2009 , the altar H4196 shall be rent H7167 , and the ashes H1880 that H834 are upon H5921 it shall be poured out H8210 .

|
4. And it came to pass H1961 , when king H4428 Jeroboam H3379 heard H8085 H853 the saying H1697 of the man H376 of God H430 , which H834 had cried H7121 against H5921 the altar H4196 in Bethel H1008 , that he put forth H7971 H853 his hand H3027 from H4480 H5921 the altar H4196 , saying H559 , Lay hold H8610 on him . And his hand H3027 , which H834 he put forth H7971 against H5921 him , dried up H3001 , so that he could H3201 not H3808 pull it in again H7725 to H413 him.

|
|
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.
|
6. And the king H4428 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 the man H376 of God H430 , Entreat H2470 now H4994 H853 the face H6440 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and pray H6419 for H1157 me , that my hand H3027 may be restored me again H7725 H413 .

|
|
7. And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
|
7. And the king H4428 said H1696 unto H413 the man H376 of God H430 , Come H935 home H1004 with H854 me , and refresh H5582 thyself , and I will give H5414 thee a reward H4991 .
|
|
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:
|
8. And the man H376 of God H430 said H559 unto H413 the king H4428 , If H518 thou wilt give H5414 me H853 half H2677 thine house H1004 , I will not H3808 go in H935 with H5973 thee, neither H3808 will I eat H398 bread H3899 nor H3808 drink H8354 water H4325 in this H2088 place H4725 :
|
|
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.
|
9. For H3588 so H3651 was it charged H6680 me by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , saying H559 , Eat H398 no H3808 bread H3899 , nor H3808 drink H8354 water H4325 , nor H3808 turn again H7725 by the same way H1870 that H834 thou camest H1980 .

|
|
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. Now there dwelt H3427 an old H259 H2205 prophet H5030 in Bethel H1008 ; and his sons H1121 came H935 and told H5608 him H853 all H3605 the works H4639 that H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008 : H853 the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 unto H413 the king H4428 , them they told H5608 also to their father H1 .
|
|
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.
|
12. And their father H1 said H1696 unto H413 them, What H335 H2088 way H1870 went H1980 he? For his sons H1121 had seen H7200 H853 what H834 way H1870 the man H376 of God H430 went H1980 , which H834 came H935 from Judah H4480 H3063 .

|
|
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.
|
14. And went H1980 after H310 the man H376 of God H430 , and found H4672 him sitting H3427 under H8478 an oak H424 : and he said H559 unto H413 him, Art thou H859 the man H376 of God H430 that H834 camest H935 from H4480 Judah H3063 ? And he said H559 , I H589 am .
|
|
15. Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
|
15. Then he said H559 unto H413 him, Come H1980 home H1004 with H854 me , and eat H398 bread H3899 .
|
|
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:
|
16. And he said H559 , I may H3201 not H3808 return H7725 with H854 thee , nor go in H935 with H854 thee: neither H3808 will I eat H398 bread H3899 nor H3808 drink H8354 water H4325 with H854 thee in this H2088 place H4725 :
|
|
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.
|
17. For H3588 it was said H1697 to H413 me by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , Thou shalt eat H398 no H3808 bread H3899 nor H3808 drink H8354 water H4325 there H8033 , nor H3808 turn again H7725 to go H1980 by the way H1870 that H834 thou camest H1980 .
|
|
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.
|
18. He said H559 unto him, I H589 am a prophet H5030 also H1571 as thou art ; and an angel H4397 spoke H1696 unto H413 me by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , saying H559 , Bring him back H7725 with H854 thee into H413 thine house H1004 , that he may eat H398 bread H3899 and drink H8354 water H4325 . But he lied H3584 unto him.

|
20. And it came to pass H1961 , as they H1992 sat H3427 at H413 the table H7979 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 the prophet H5030 that H834 brought him back H7725 :
|
|
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,
|
21. And he cried H7121 unto H413 the man H376 of God H430 that H834 came H935 from H4480 Judah H3063 , saying H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Forasmuch H3282 H3588 as thou hast disobeyed H4784 the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 , and hast not H3808 kept H8104 H853 the commandment H4687 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 commanded H6680 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.
|
22. But camest back H7725 , and hast eaten H398 bread H3899 and drunk H8354 water H4325 in the place H4725 , of the which H834 the LORD did say H1696 to H413 thee, Eat H398 no H408 bread H3899 , and drink H8354 no H408 water H4325 ; thy carcass H5038 shall not H3808 come H935 unto H413 the sepulcher H6913 of thy fathers H1 .

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.
|
23. And it came to pass H1961 , after H310 he had eaten H398 bread H3899 , and after H310 he had drunk H8354 , that he saddled H2280 for him the ass H2543 , to wit , for the prophet H5030 whom H834 he had brought back H7725 .
|
|
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.
|
24. And when he was gone H1980 , a lion H738 met H4672 him by the way H1870 , and slew H4191 him : and his carcass H5038 was H1961 cast H7993 in the way H1870 , and the ass H2543 stood H5975 by H681 it , the lion H738 also stood H5975 by H681 the carcass H5038 .

|
|
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.
|
26. And when the prophet H5030 that H834 brought him back H7725 from H4480 the way H1870 heard H8085 thereof , he said H559 , It H1931 is the man H376 of God H430 , who H834 was disobedient H4784 unto H853 the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 : therefore the LORD H3068 hath delivered H5414 him unto the lion H738 , which hath torn H7665 him , and slain H4191 him , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he spoke H1696 unto him.

|
29. And the prophet H5030 took up H5375 H853 the carcass H5038 of the man H376 of God H430 , and laid H5117 it upon H413 the ass H2543 , and brought it back H7725 : and the old H2205 prophet H5030 came H935 to H413 the city H5892 , to mourn H5594 and to bury H6912 him.

And it came to pass H1961 , after H310 he had buried H6912 him , that he spoke H559 to H413 his sons H1121 , saying H559 , When I am dead H4191 , then bury H6912 me in the sepulcher H6913 wherein H834 the man H376 of God H430 is buried H6912 ; lay H5117 H853 my bones H6106 beside H681 his bones H6106 :
|
|
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.
|
32. For H3588 the saying H1697 which H834 he cried H7121 by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 against H5921 the altar H4196 in Bethel H1008 , and against H5921 all H3605 the houses H1004 of the high places H1116 which H834 are in the cities H5892 of Samaria H8111 , shall surely come to pass H1961 H1961 .
|
|
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.
|
33. After H310 this H2088 thing H1697 Jeroboam H3379 returned H7725 not H3808 from his evil way H4480 H1870 H7451 , but made H6213 again H7725 of the lowest H4480 H7098 of the people H5971 priests H3548 of the high places H1116 : whosoever would H2655 , he consecrated H4390 H853 H3027 him , and he became H1961 one of the priests H3548 of the high places H1116 .
