1 Kings 13:1-34

13:1

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

out of Judah
<03063>

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Bethel
<01008>_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by the altar
<04196>

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_.

{burn: or, offer}

13:2

And he cried
<07121> (8799)

against the altar
<04196>

in the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O altar
<04196>_,

altar
<04196>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, a child
<01121>

shall be born
<03205> (8737)

unto the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

Josiah
<02977>

by name
<08034>_;

and upon thee shall he offer
<02076> (8804)

the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

that burn incense
<06999> (8688)

upon thee, and men's
<0120>

bones
<06106>

shall be burnt
<08313> (8799)

upon thee.

13:3

And he gave
<05414> (8804)

a sign
<04159>

the same day
<03117>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This [is] the sign
<04159>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_;

Behold, the altar
<04196>

shall be rent
<07167> (8738)_,

and the ashes
<01880>

that [are] upon it shall be poured out
<08210> (8738)_.

13:4

And it came to pass, when king
<04428>

Jeroboam
<03379>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the saying
<01697>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

which had cried
<07121> (8804)

against the altar
<04196>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

that he put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

from the altar
<04196>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lay hold
<08610> (8798)

on him. And his hand
<03027>_,

which he put forth
<07971> (8804)

against him, dried up
<03001> (8799)_,

so that he could
<03201> (8804)

not pull it in again
<07725> (8687)

to him.

13:5

The altar
<04196>

also was rent
<07167> (8738)_,

and the ashes
<01880>

poured out
<08210> (8735)

from the altar
<04196>_,

according to the sign
<04159>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had given
<05414> (8804)

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

13:6

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

Intreat
<02470> (8761)

now the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and pray
<06419> (8690)

for me, that my hand
<03027>

may be restored me again
<07725> (8799)_.

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

besought
<02470> (8762) <06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

hand
<03027>

was restored him again
<07725> (8799)_,

and became as [it was] before
<07223>_.

{the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}

13:7

And the king
<04428>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

Come
<0935> (8798)

home
<01004>

with me, and refresh
<05582> (8798)

thyself, and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thee a reward
<04991>_.

13:8

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

If thou wilt give
<05414> (8799)

me half
<02677>

thine house
<01004>_,

I will not go in
<0935> (8799)

with thee, neither will I eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

in this place
<04725>_:

13:9

For so was it charged
<06680> (8765)

me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>_,

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_,

nor turn again
<07725> (8799)

by the same way
<01870>

that thou camest
<01980> (8804)_.

13:10

So he went
<03212> (8799)

another
<0312>

way
<01870>_,

and returned
<07725> (8804)

not by the way
<01870>

that he came
<0935> (8804)

to Bethel
<01008>_.

13:11

Now there dwelt
<03427> (8802)

an
<0259>

old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

in Bethel
<01008>_;

and his sons
<01121>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05608> (8762)

him all the works
<04639>

that the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

that day
<03117>

in Bethel
<01008>_:

the words
<01697>

which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto the king
<04428>_,

them they told
<05608> (8762)

also to their father
<01>_.

13:12

And their father
<01>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, What way
<01870>

went
<01980> (8804)

he? For his sons
<01121>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

what
<0335>

way
<01870>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

went
<01980> (8804)_,

which came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_.

13:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his sons
<01121>_,

Saddle
<02280> (8798)

me the ass
<02543>_.

So they saddled
<02280> (8799)

him the ass
<02543>_:

and he rode
<07392> (8799)

thereon,

13:14

And went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

him sitting
<03427> (8802)

under an oak
<0424>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

that camest
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

13:15

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come
<03212> (8798)

home
<01004>

with me, and eat
<0398> (8798)

bread
<03899>_.

13:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I may
<03201> (8799)

not return
<07725> (8800)

with thee, nor go in
<0935> (8800)

with thee: neither will I eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

with thee in this place
<04725>_:

13:17

For it was said
<01697>

to me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

there, nor turn again
<07725> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

by the way
<01870>

that thou camest
<01980> (8804)_.

{it...: Heb. a word was}

13:18

He said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] a prophet
<05030>

also as thou [art]; and an angel
<04397>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring him back
<07725> (8685)

with thee into thine house
<01004>_,

that he may eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

and drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_.

[But] he lied
<03584> (8765)

unto him.

13:19

So he went back
<07725> (8799)

with him, and did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

in his house
<01004>_,

and drank
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_.

13:20

And it came to pass, as they sat
<03427> (8802)

at the table
<07979>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto the prophet
<05030>

that brought him back
<07725> (8689)_:

13:21

And he cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

that came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Forasmuch as
<03282>

thou hast disobeyed
<04784> (8804)

the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and hast not kept
<08104> (8804)

the commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee,

13:22

But camest back
<07725> (8799)_,

and hast eaten
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

and drunk
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

in the place
<04725>_,

of the which [the LORD] did say
<01696> (8765)

to thee, Eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>_,

and drink
<08354> (8799)

no water
<04325>_;

thy carcase
<05038>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

unto the sepulchre
<06913>

of thy fathers
<01>_.

13:23

And it came to pass, after
<0310>

he had eaten
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_,

and after
<0310>

he had drunk
<08354> (8800)_,

that he saddled
<02280> (8799)

for him the ass
<02543>_,

[to wit], for the prophet
<05030>

whom he had brought back
<07725> (8689)_.

13:24

And when he was gone
<03212> (8799)_,

a lion
<0738>

met
<04672> (8799)

him by the way
<01870>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him: and his carcase
<05038>

was cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the ass
<02543>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

it, the lion
<0738>

also stood
<05975> (8802)

by the carcase
<05038>_.

13:25

And, behold, men
<0582>

passed by
<05674> (8802)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the carcase
<05038>

cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the lion
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the carcase
<05038>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<01696> (8762)

[it] in the city
<05892>

where the old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

13:26

And when the prophet
<05030>

that brought him back
<07725> (8689)

from the way
<01870>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[thereof], he said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

who was disobedient
<04784> (8804)

unto the word
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8799)

him unto the lion
<0738>_,

which hath torn
<07665> (8799)

him, and slain
<04191> (8686)

him, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him. {torn: Heb. broken}

13:27

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

to his sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saddle
<02280> (8798)

me the ass
<02543>_.

And they saddled
<02280> (8799)

[him].

13:28

And he went
<03212> (8799)

and found
<04672> (8799)

his carcase
<05038>

cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the ass
<02543>

and the lion
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the carcase
<05038>_:

the lion
<0738>

had not eaten
<0398> (8804)

the carcase
<05038>_,

nor torn
<07665> (8804)

the ass
<02543>_.

{torn: Heb. broken}

13:29

And the prophet
<05030>

took up
<05375> (8799)

the carcase
<05038>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and laid
<03240> (8686)

it upon the ass
<02543>_,

and brought it back
<07725> (8686)_:

and the old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_,

to mourn
<05594> (8800)

and to bury
<06912> (8800)

him.

13:30

And he laid
<03240> (8686)

his carcase
<05038>

in his own grave
<06913>_;

and they mourned
<05594> (8799)

over him, [saying], Alas
<01945>_,

my brother
<0251>_!

13:31

And it came to pass, after
<0310>

he had buried
<06912> (8800)

him, that he spake
<0559> (8799)

to his sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When I am dead
<04191> (8800)_,

then bury
<06912> (8804)

me in the sepulchre
<06913>

wherein the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

[is] buried
<06912> (8803)_;

lay
<03240> (8685)

my bones
<06106>

beside
<0681>

his bones
<06106>_:

13:32

For the saying
<01697>

which he cried
<07121> (8804)

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

against the altar
<04196>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and against all the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which [are] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

shall surely come to pass.

13:33

After
<0310>

this thing
<01697>

Jeroboam
<03379>

returned
<07725> (8804)

not from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_,

but made
<06213> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

of the lowest
<07098>

of the people
<05971>

priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_:

whosoever would
<02655>_,

he consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>

him, and he became [one] of the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_.

{made...: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated...: Heb. filled his hand}

13:34

And this thing
<01697>

became sin
<02403>

unto the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

even to cut [it] off
<03582> (8687)_,

and to destroy
<08045> (8687)

[it] from off the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.
