And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.H4428H3379H8085H1697H376H430H7121H4196H1008H7971H3027H4196H559H8610H3027H7971H3001H3201H77255The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.H4196H7167H1880H8210H4196H4159H376H430H5414H1697H30686And 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. / the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etcH4428H6030H559H376H430H2470H6440H3068H430H6419H3027H7725H376H430H2470H6440H3068H4428H3027H7725H72237And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.H4428H1696H376H430H935H1004H5582H5414H49918And 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:H376H430H559H4428H5414H2677H1004H935H398H3899H8354H4325H47259For 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.H6680H1697H3068H559H398H3899H8354H4325H7725H1870H198010So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.H3212H312H1870H7725H1870H935H100811Now 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.H3427H259H2205H5030H1008H1121H935H5608H4639H376H430H6213H3117H1008H1697H1696H4428H5608H112And 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.H1H1696H1870H1980H1121H7200H335H1870H376H430H1980H935H306313And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,H559H1121H2280H2543H2280H2543H739214And 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.H3212H310H376H430H4672H3427H424H559H376H430H935H3063H55915Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.H559H3212H1004H398H389916And 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:H559H3201H7725H935H398H3899H8354H4325H472517For 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. / it…: Heb. a word wasH1697H1697H3068H398H3899H8354H4325H7725H3212H1870H198018He 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.H559H5030H4397H1696H1697H3068H559H7725H1004H398H3899H8354H4325H358419So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.H7725H398H3899H1004H8354H432520And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:H3427H7979H1697H3068H5030H772521And 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,H7121H376H430H935H3063H559H559H3068H3282H4784H6310H3068H8104H4687H3068H430H668022But 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.H7725H398H3899H8354H4325H4725H1696H398H3899H8354H4325H5038H935H6913H123And 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.H310H398H3899H310H8354H2280H2543H5030H772524And 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.H3212H738H4672H1870H4191H5038H7993H1870H2543H5975H681H738H5975H503825And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.H582H5674H7200H5038H7993H1870H738H5975H681H5038H935H1696H5892H2205H5030H342726And 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. / torn: Heb. brokenH5030H7725H1870H8085H559H376H430H4784H6310H3068H3068H5414H738H7665H4191H1697H3068H169627And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.H1696H1121H559H2280H2543H228028And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. / torn: Heb. brokenH3212H4672H5038H7993H1870H2543H738H5975H681H5038H738H398H5038H7665H254329And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.H5030H5375H5038H376H430H3240H2543H7725H2205H5030H935H5892H5594H691230And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!H3240H5038H6913H5594H1945H25131And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:H310H6912H559H1121H559H4191H6912H6913H376H430H6912H3240H6106H681H610632For 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.H1697H7121H1697H3068H4196H1008H1004H1116H5892H811133After 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. / made…: Heb. returned and made / consecrated…: Heb. filled his handH310H1697H3379H7725H7451H1870H6213H7725H7098H5971H3548H1116H2655H4390H3027H3548H111634And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.H1697H2403H1004H3379H3582H8045H6440H127
