Jeroboam Warned, Stricken

1

Now beholdh2009, there cameh935  aa manh376 of Godh430 from Judahh3063 to Bethelh1008 by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, while Jeroboamh3379 was standingh5975 by the altarh4196  bto burnh6999 incenseh6999.

2

 aHe criedh7121 againsth5921 the altarh4196 by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, and saidh559, "O altarh4196, altarh4196, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, `Beholdh2009, a sonh1121 shall be bornh3205 to the househ1004 of Davidh1732,  bJosiahh2977 by nameh8034; and on you he shall sacrificeh2076 the priestsh3548 of the highh1116 placesh1116 who burnh6999 incenseh6999 on you, and humanh120 bonesh6106 shall be burnedh8313 on you.' "

3

Then he gaveh5414 a  1signh4159 the sameh1931 dayh3117, sayingh559, " aThish2088 is the  1signh4159 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696, `Beholdh2009, the altarh4196 shall be splith7167 aparth7167 and the  2ashesh1880 whichh834 are on it shall be pouredh8210 out.' "

4

Now when the kingh4428 heardh8085 the sayingh1697 of the manh376 of Godh430, whichh834 he criedh7121 againsth5921 the altarh4196 in Bethelh1008, Jeroboamh3379 stretchedh7971 out his handh3027 from the altarh4196, sayingh559, "Seizeh8610 him." But his handh3027 whichh834 he stretchedh7971 out againsth5921 him driedh3001 up, so that he couldh3201 not drawh7725 it backh7725 to himself.

5

The altarh4196 also was splith7167 aparth7167 and the  1ashesh1880 were pouredh8210 out from the altarh4196, according to the  2signh4159 whichh834 the manh376 of Godh430 had givenh5414 by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068.

6

The kingh4428 saidh559 to the manh376 of Godh430, "Pleaseh4994  1 aentreath2470b the LORDh3068 your Godh430, and prayh6419 for me, that my handh3027 may be restoredh7725 to me." So  bthe manh376 of Godh430  2entreatedh2470b the LORDh3068, and the king'sh4428 handh3027 was restoredh7725 to him, and it becameh1961 as it was beforeh7223.

7

Then the kingh4428 saidh1696 to the manh376 of Godh430, "Comeh935 homeh1004 with me and refreshh5582 yourself, and  aI will giveh5414 you a rewardh4991."

8

But the manh376 of Godh430 saidh559 to the kingh4428, " aIfh518 you were to giveh5414 me halfh2677 your househ1004 I would not goh935 with you, norh3808 would I eath398 breadh3899 or drinkh8354 waterh4325 in thish2088 placeh4725.

9

"For soh3651  1it was commandedh6680 me by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, sayingh559, `You shall eath398 noh3808 breadh3899, norh3808 drinkh8354 waterh4325, norh3808 returnh7725 by the wayh1870 whichh834 you cameh1980.' "

10

So he wenth1980 anotherh312 wayh1870 and did not returnh7725 by the wayh1870 whichh834 he cameh935 to Bethelh1008.

The Disobedient Prophet

11

Now  aan oldh2205 propheth5030 was livingh3427 in Bethelh1008; and his  1sonsh1121 cameh935 and toldh5608 him allh3605 the deedsh4639 whichh834 the manh376 of Godh430 had doneh6213a that dayh3117 in Bethelh1008; the wordsh1697 whichh834 he had spokenh1696 to the kingh4428, these also they relatedh5608 to their fatherh1.

12

Their fatherh1 saidh1696 to them, " 1Whichh335h2088 wayh1870 did he goh1980?" Now his sonsh1121  2had seenh7200 the wayh1870 whichh834 the manh376 of Godh430 whoh834 cameh935 from Judahh3063 had goneh1980.

13

Then he saidh559 to his sonsh1121, "Saddleh2280 the donkeyh2543 for me." So they saddledh2280 the donkeyh2543 for him and he rodeh7392 away on it.

14

So he wenth1980 afterh310 the manh376 of Godh430 and foundh4672 him sittingh3427 underh8478  1an oakh424; and he saidh559 to him, "Are you the manh376 of Godh430 whoh834 cameh935 from Judahh3063?" And he saidh559, "I am."

15

Then he saidh559 to him, "Comeh1980 homeh1004 with me and eath398 breadh3899."

16

He saidh559, " aI cannoth3201h3808 returnh7725 with you, norh3808 goh935 with you, norh3808 will I eath398 breadh3899 or drinkh8354 waterh4325 with you in thish2088 placeh4725.

17

"For a commandh1697 came to me  aby the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, `You shall eath398 noh3808 breadh3899, norh3808 drinkh8354 waterh4325 thereh8033; do not returnh7725 by goingh1980 the wayh1870 whichh834 you cameh1980.' "

18

He saidh559 to him, " aI alsoh1571 am a propheth5030 likeh3644 you, and  ban angelh4397 spokeh1696 to me by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, sayingh559, `Bringh7725 him backh7725 with you to your househ1004, that he may eath398 breadh3899 and drinkh8354 waterh4325.' " But  che liedh3584 to him.

19

So he wenth7725 backh7725 with him, and ateh398 breadh3899 in his househ1004 and drankh8354 waterh4325.

20

Now it cameh1961 about, as they were sittingh3427 downh3427 at the tableh7979, that the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to the propheth5030 whoh834 had broughth7725 him backh7725;

21

and he criedh7121 to the manh376 of Godh430 whoh834 cameh935 from Judahh3063, sayingh559, "Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, `Becauseh3282h3588 you have  1disobeyedh4784 the  2commandh6310 of the LORDh3068, and have not observedh8104 the commandmenth4687 whichh834 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 commandedh6680 you,

22

but have returnedh7725 and eatenh398 breadh3899 and drunkh8354 waterh4325 in the placeh4725 of whichh834 He saidh1696 to you, "Eath398 noh408 breadh3899 and drinkh8354 noh408 waterh4325"; your bodyh5038 shall not comeh935 to the graveh6913 of your fathersh1.' "

23

It cameh1961 about afterh310 he had eatenh398 breadh3899 and afterh310 he had drunkh8354, that he saddledh2280 the donkeyh2543 for him, for the propheth5030 whomh834 he had broughth7725 backh7725.

24

Now when he had goneh1980,  aa lionh743b meth4672 him on the wayh1870 and killedh4191 him, and his bodyh5038 was thrownh7993 on the roadh1870, with the donkeyh2543 standingh5975 besideh681a it; the lionh743b also was standingh5975 besideh681a the bodyh5038.

25

And beholdh2009, menh376 passedh5674a by and sawh7200 the bodyh5038 thrownh7993 on the roadh1870, and the lionh743b standingh5975 besideh681a the bodyh5038; so they cameh935 and toldh1696 it in the cityh5892b whereh834  athe oldh2205 propheth5030 livedh3427.

26

Now when the propheth5030 whoh834 broughth7725 him backh7725 from the wayh1870 heardh8085 it, he saidh559, "It is the manh376 of Godh430, whoh834  1disobeyedh4784 the  2commandh6310 of the LORDh3068; therefore the LORDh3068 has givenh5414 him to the lionh743b, which has tornh7665 him and killedh4191 him, according to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He spokeh1696 to him."

27

Then he spokeh1696 to his sonsh1121, sayingh559, "Saddleh2280 the donkeyh2543 for me." And they saddledh2280 it.

28

He wenth1980 and foundh4672 his bodyh5038 thrownh7993 on the roadh1870 with the donkeyh2543 and the lionh743b standingh5975 besideh681a the bodyh5038; the lionh743b had not eatenh398 the bodyh5038 norh3808 tornh7665 the donkeyh2543.

29

So the propheth5030 tookh5375 up the bodyh5038 of the manh376 of Godh430 and laidh5117 it on the donkeyh2543 and broughth7725 it backh7725, and he cameh935 to the cityh5892b of the oldh2205 propheth5030 to mournh5594 and to buryh6912 him.

30

He laidh5117 his bodyh5038 in his own graveh6913, and they mournedh5594 overh5921 him, saying,aAlash1945, my brotherh251!"

31

Afterh310 he had buriedh6912 him, he spokeh559 to his sonsh1121, sayingh559, "When I dieh4191, buryh6912 me in the graveh6913 in whichh834 the manh376 of Godh430 is buriedh6912;  alayh5117 my bonesh6106 besideh681a his bonesh6106.

32

aFor the thingh1697 shall surelyh1961 comeh1961 to passh1961 whichh834 he criedh7121 by the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 againsth5921 the altarh4196 in Bethelh1008 and  bagainsth5921 allh3605 the housesh1004 of the highh1116 placesh1116 whichh834 are in the citiesh5892b of  cSamariah8111."

33

Afterh310 thish2088 eventh1697 Jeroboamh3379 did not returnh7725 from his evilh7451a wayh1870, but  aagainh7725 he madeh6213a priestsh3548 of the highh1116 placesh1116 from among  1allh7098 the peopleh5971a;  bany who wouldh2655, he ordainedh4390h3027, to be priestsh3548 of the highh1116 placesh1116.

34

 1 aThish2088 eventh1697 becameh1961 sinh2403b to the househ1004 of Jeroboamh3379,  beven to bloth3582 it out and destroyh8045 it from offh5921 the faceh6440 of the earthh127.
