Read 1 Kings 13 in full →The Altar Shall Be Torn Apart
13Now behold, there came aa man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of Yahweh, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar bto burn incense. 2aAnd he cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, “O altar, altar, thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, bJosiah is his name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’” 3Then he gave a miraculous sign the same day, saying, “aThis is the miraculous sign which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn apart and the 1ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’” 4Now it happened that when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
