1 Kings 13

1 Jeroboam's hand, that offered violence to him that prophesied against his altar at Beth-el, withereth, 6 and at the prayer of the prophet is restored. 7 The prophet, refusing the king's entertainment, departeth from Beth-el. 11 An old prophet, seducing him, bringeth him back. 20 He is reproved by God, 24 slain by a lion, 26 buried by the old prophet, 31 who confirmeth his prophecy. 33 Jeroboam's obstinacy.

 13:1 ¶ And behold, x2009 there came 935 z8804 a man 376 of God 430 out of Iudah 3063 x4480 by the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 vnto x413 Bethel: 1008 and Ieroboam 3379 stood 5975 z8802 by x5921 the altar 4196 to burne incense. 6999 z8687

 13:2 And hee cried 7121 z8799 against x5921 the altar 4196 in the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 and said, 559 z8799 O altar, 4196 altar, 4196 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Behold, x2009 a child 1121 shalbe borne 3205 z8737 vnto the house 1004 of Dauid, 1732 Iosiah 2977 by name, 8034 and vpon x5921 thee shall he offer 2076 z8804 x853 the priests 3548 of the high places 1116 that burne incense 6999 z8688 vpon x5921 thee, and mens 120 bones 6106 shall bee burnt 8313 z8799 vpon x5921 thee.

 13:3 And he gaue 5414 z8804 a signe 4159 the same x1931 day, 3117 saying, 559 z8800 This x2088 is the signe 4159 which x834 the LORD 3068 hath spoken: 1696 z8765 Behold, x2009 the altar 4196 shall be rent, 7167 z8738 and the ashes 1880 that x834 are vpon x5921 it, shalbe powred out. 8210 z8738

 13:4 And it came to passe x1961 when king 4428 Ieroboam 3379 heard 8085 z8800 x853 the saying 1697 of the man 376 of God, 430 which x834 had cried 7121 z8804 against x5921 the altar 4196 in Bethel, 1008 that he put forth 7971 z8799 x853 his hand 3027 from x4480 x5921 the altar, 4196 saying, 559 z8800 Lay hold 8610 z8798 on him: And his hand 3027 which x834 hee put foorth 7971 z8804 against x5921 him, dried vp, 3001 z8799 so that hee could 3201 z8804 not x3808 pull it in againe 7725 z8687 to x413 him.

 13:5 The altar 4196 also was rent, 7167 z8738 and the ashes 1880 powred out 8210 z8735 from x4480 the altar, 4196 according to the signe 4159 which x834 the man 376 of God 430 had giuen 5414 z8804 by the word 1697 of the LORD. 3068

 13:6 And the king 4428 answered, 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 vnto x413 the man 376 of God, 430 Intreat 2470 z8761 now x4994 x853 the face 6440 of the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 and pray 6419 z8690 for x1157 mee, that my hand 3027 may be restored mee againe. 7725 z8799 x413 And the man 376 of God 430 besought 2470 z8762 y6440 x853 the LORD, 3068 x6440 and the kings 4428 hand 3027 was restored againe, 7725 z8799 x413 and became x1961 as it was before. 7223

 13:7 And the king 4428 said 1696 z8762 vnto x413 the man 376 of God, 430 Come 935 z8798 home 1004 with x854 mee, and refresh 5582 z8798 thy selfe, and I wil giue 5414 z8799 thee a reward. 4991

 13:8 And the man 376 of God 430 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 the king, 4428 If x518 thou wilt giue 5414 z8799 mee x853 halfe 2677 thine house, 1004 I will not x3808 goe in 935 z8799 with x5973 thee, neither x3808 will I eat 398 z8799 bread, 3899 nor x3808 drinke 8354 z8799 water 4325 in this x2088 place: 4725

 13:9 For x3588 so x3651 was it charged 6680 z8765 mee by the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 saying, 559 z8800 Eate 398 z8799 no x3808 bread, 3899 nor x3808 drinke 8354 z8799 water, 4325 nor x3808 turne again 7725 z8799 by the same way 1870 that x834 thou camest. 1980 z8804

 13:10 So he went y3212 z8799 x1980 another 312 way, 1870 and returned 7725 z8804 not x3808 by the way 1870 that x834 hee came 935 z8804 to x413 Bethel. 1008

 13:11 ¶ Now there dwelt 3427 z8802 an y259 old 2205 x259 Prophet 5030 in Bethel, 1008 and his sonne 1121 came 935 z8799 and told 5608 z8762 him x853 all x3605 the workes 4639 that x834 the man 376 of God 430 had done 6213 z8804 that day 3117 in Bethel: 1008 x853 the words 1697 which x834 hee had spoken 1696 z8765 vnto x413 the king, 4428 them they tolde 5608 z8762 also to their father. 1

 13:12 And their father 1 said 1696 z8762 vnto x413 them, What x335 x2088 way 1870 went 1980 z8804 he? for his sonnes 1121 had seene 7200 z8799 x853 what y335 x834 way 1870 the man 376 of God 430 went, 1980 z8804 which x834 came 935 z8804 from Iudah. 3063 x4480

 13:13 And hee saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 his sonnes, 1121 Saddle 2280 z8798 me the asse. 2543 So they sadled 2280 z8799 him the asse, 2543 and he rode 7392 z8799 thereon, x5921

 13:14 And went y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 the man 376 of God, 430 and found 4672 z8799 him sitting 3427 z8802 vnder x8478 an oke; 424 and he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Art thou x859 the man 376 of God 430 that x834 camest 935 z8804 from x4480 Iudah? 3063 And he said, 559 z8799 I x589 [am].

 13:15 Then hee said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Come y3212 z8798 x1980 home 1004 with x854 me, and eate 398 z8798 bread. 3899

 13:16 And he said, 559 z8799 I may 3201 z8799 not x3808 returne 7725 z8800 with x854 thee, nor goe in 935 z8800 with x854 thee: neither x3808 will I eat 398 z8799 bread, 3899 nor x3808 drinke 8354 z8799 water 4325 with x854 thee in this x2088 place. 4725

 13:17 For x3588 it was said 1697 to x413 mee by the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 Thou shalt eate 398 z8799 no x3808 bread, 3899 nor x3808 drinke 8354 z8799 water 4325 there, x8033 nor x3808 turne againe 7725 z8799 to go y3212 z8800 x1980 by the way 1870 that x834 thou camest. 1980 z8804

 13:18 He said 559 z8799 vnto him, I x589 [am] a prophet 5030 also x1571 as thou [art], and an angel 4397 spake 1696 z8765 vnto x413 me by the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 saying, 559 z8800 Bring him backe 7725 z8685 with x854 thee into x413 thine house, 1004 that he may eat 398 z8799 bread, 3899 and drinke 8354 z8799 water: 4325 [But] he lied 3584 z8765 vnto him.

 13:19 So he went backe 7725 z8799 with x854 him, and did eate 398 z8799 bread 3899 in his house, 1004 and dranke 8354 z8799 water. 4325

 13:20 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 as they x1992 sate 3427 z8802 at x413 the table, 7979 that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 vnto x413 the prophet 5030 that x834 brought him backe: 7725 z8689

 13:21 And he cried 7121 z8799 vnto x413 the man 376 of God 430 that x834 came 935 z8804 from x4480 Iudah, 3063 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Forasmuch x3282 x3588 as y3282 thou hast disobeied 4784 z8804 the mouth 6310 of the LORD, 3068 and hast not x3808 kept 8104 z8804 x853 the commandement 4687 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 commanded 6680 z8765 thee,

 13:22 But camest backe, 7725 z8799 and hast eaten 398 z8799 bread, 3899 and drunke 8354 z8799 water, 4325 in the place, 4725 of the which x834 the Lord did say 1696 z8765 to x413 thee, Eate 398 z8799 no x408 bread, 3899 and drinke 8354 z8799 no x408 water; 4325 thy carcaise 5038 shall not x3808 come 935 z8799 vnto x413 the sepulchre 6913 of thy fathers. 1

 13:23 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 after 310 he had eaten 398 z8800 bread, 3899 and after 310 hee had drunke, 8354 z8800 that he sadled 2280 z8799 for him the asse, 2543 [to wit], for the Prophet, 5030 whome x834 hee had brought backe. 7725 z8689

 13:24 And when he was gone, y3212 z8799 x1980 a lyon 738 met 4672 z8799 him by the way, 1870 and slew 4191 z8686 him: and his carcaise 5038 was x1961 cast 7993 z8716 in the way, 1870 and the asse 2543 stood 5975 z8802 by 681 it, the lyon 738 also stood 5975 z8802 by x681 the carcaise. 5038

 13:25 And beholde, x2009 men y582 x376 passed by, 5674 z8802 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 the carcaise 5038 cast 7993 z8716 in the way, 1870 and the lyon 738 standing 5975 z8802 by 681 the carcaise: 5038 and they came 935 z8799 and told 1696 z8762 it in the citie 5892 where x834 the old 2205 prophet 5030 dwelt. 3427 z8802

 13:26 And when the prophet 5030 that x834 brought him back 7725 z8689 from x4480 the way, 1870 heard 8085 z8799 [thereof], he said, 559 z8799 It x1931 is the man 376 of God, 430 who x834 was disobedient 4784 z8804 vnto x853 the word 6310 of the LORD: 3068 therefore the LORD 3068 hath deliuered 5414 z8799 him vnto the lion, 738 which hath torne 7665 z8799 him, and slaine 4191 z8686 him, according to the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 vnto him.

 13:27 And he spake 1696 z8762 to x413 his sonnes, 1121 saying, 559 z8800 Saddle 2280 z8798 me x853 the asse: 2543 and they sadled 2280 z8799 [him].

 13:28 And he went y3212 z8799 x1980 and found 4672 z8799 x853 his carcaise 5038 cast 7993 z8716 in the way, 1870 and the asse 2543 and the lyon 738 standing 5975 z8802 by 681 the carcaise: 5038 the lyon 738 had not x3808 eaten 398 z8804 x853 the carcaise, 5038 nor x3808 torne 7665 z8804 x853 the asse. 2543

 13:29 And the prophet 5030 tooke vp 5375 z8799 x853 the carcaise 5038 of the man 376 of God, 430 and laid y3240 z8686 x5117 it vpon x413 the asse, 2543 and brought it backe: 7725 z8686 and the old 2205 prophet 5030 came 935 z8799 to x413 the city, 5892 to mourne, 5594 z8800 and to burie 6912 z8800 him.

 13:30 And hee laid y3240 z8686 x5117 x853 his carcaise 5038 in his owne graue, 6913 and they mourned 5594 z8799 ouer x5921 him, [saying], Alas 1945 my brother. 251

 13:31 And it came to passe x1961 after 310 hee had buried 6912 z8800 him, that he spake 559 z8799 to x413 his sonnes, 1121 saying, 559 z8800 When I am dead, 4191 z8800 then bury 6912 z8804 me in the sepulchre, 6913 wherein x834 the man 376 of God 430 is buried, 6912 z8803 lay y3240 z8685 x5117 x853 my bones 6106 beside 681 his bones. 6106

 13:32 For x3588 the saying 1697 which x834 hee cried 7121 z8804 by the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 against x5921 the altar 4196 in Bethel, 1008 and against x5921 all x3605 the houses 1004 of the high places 1116 which x834 [are] in the cities 5892 of Samaria, 8111 shall surely come to passe. 1961

 13:33 ¶ After 310 this x2088 thing, 1697 Ieroboam 3379 returned 7725 z8804 not x3808 from his euill y7451 way, 1870 x4480 x7451 but made 6213 z8799 againe 7725 z8799 of the lowest 7098 x4480 of the people 5971 priests 3548 of the high places: 1116 whosoeuer would, 2655 he consecrated 4390 3027 z8762 x853 him, and he became x1961 one of the priests 3548 of the high places. 1116

 13:34 And this x2088 thing 1697 became x1961 sinne 2403 vnto the house 1004 of Ieroboam, 3379 euen to cut it off, 3582 z8687 and to destroy 8045 z8687 it from off x4480 x5921 the face 6440 of the earth. 127
