13:4 When the king heard what the prophet 1 cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam, standing at the altar, extended his hand 2 and ordered, 3 “Seize him!” The hand he had extended shriveled up 4 and he could not pull it back.
1 tnHeb “the man of God.”
2 tnHeb “Jeroboam extended his hand from the altar.”
3 tnHeb “saying.”
4 tnHeb “dried up” or “withered.” TEV and NLT interpret this as “became paralyzed.”
