1 Kings 13:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
13 1 Jeroboam is reprehended of the Prophet. 4 His hand drieth up. 13 The Prophet is seduced, 24 and is killed of a lion. 33 The obstinacy of Jeroboam.
1 And behold, there came [a]a man of God out of Judah (by the commandment of the Lord) unto [b]Bethel, and Jeroboam stood by the altar to offer incense.
2 And he cried against the altar by the commandment of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, (A)Josiah by name, and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and they shall burn men’s bones upon thee.
3 And he gave a sign the same time, saying, This is the [c]sign, that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall rent, and the ashes that are upon it, shall [d]fall out.
