| On the fifteenth day of the eighth month (a date he had arbitrarily chosen) 1 Jeroboam 2 offered sacrifices on the altar he had made in Bethel. 3 He inaugurated a festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to offer sacrifices. |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:1 |
| Just then 1 a prophet 2 from Judah, sent by the Lord, arrived in Bethel, 3 as Jeroboam was standing near the altar ready to offer a sacrifice. |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:2 |
| With the authority of the Lord 1 he cried out against the altar, “O altar, altar! This is what the Lord says, ‘Look, a son named Josiah will be born to the Davidic dynasty. He will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who offer sacrifices on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’” 2 |

| 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. |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:5 |
| The altar split open and the ashes 1 fell from the altar to the ground, 2 in fulfillment of the sign the prophet had announced with the Lord’s authority. 3 |

| For the Lord gave me strict orders, 1 ‘Do not eat or drink 2 there and do not go home the way you came.’” |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:11 |
| Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel. 1 When his sons came home, they told their father 2 everything the prophet 3 had done in Bethel that day and all the words he had spoken to the king. 4 |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:17 |
| For the Lord gave me strict orders, 1 ‘Do not eat or drink 2 there; do not go back the way you came.’” |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:18 |
| The old prophet then said, 1 “I too am a prophet like you. An angel told me with the Lord’s authority, 2 ‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat and drink.’” 3 But he was lying to him. 4 |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:20 |
| While they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke through the old prophet 1 |

| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:26 |
| When the old prophet who had invited him to his house heard the news, 1 he said, “It is the prophet 2 who rebelled against the Lord. 3 The Lord delivered him over to the lion and it ripped him up 4 and killed him, just as the Lord warned him.” 5 |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 13:32 |
| for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority 1 against the altar in Bethel 2 and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north 3 will certainly be fulfilled.” |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 14:3 |

| All Israel will mourn him and bury him. He is the only one in Jeroboam’s family 1 who will receive a decent burial, for he is the only one in whom the Lord God of Israel found anything good. |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 14:15 |
| The Lord will attack Israel, making it like a reed that sways in the water. 1 He will remove Israel from this good land he gave to their ancestors 2 and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, 3 because they angered the Lord by making Asherah poles. 4 |
| (1.00) | 1Ki 14:18 |
| All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had predicted 1 through his servant the prophet Ahijah. |
