1 Kings 13 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Jeroboam Warned, Stricken

1Ki 13:1Behold, there came a man of God out of Yehudah by the word of the LORD to Beit-El: and Yarov`am was standing by the altar to burn incense.

1Ki 13:2

1Ki 13:2He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, altar, altar, thus says the LORD: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Yoshiyahu by name; and on you shall he sacrifice the Kohanim of the high places who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall they burn on you.

1Ki 13:3

1Ki 13:3He gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn, and the ashes that are on it shall be poured out.

1Ki 13:4

1Ki 13:4It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beit-El, that Yarov`am put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. His hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.

1Ki 13:5

1Ki 13:5The altar also was torn, 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.

1Ki 13:6

1Ki 13:6The king answered the man of God, Entreat now the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. The man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

1Ki 13:7

1Ki 13:7The king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.

1Ki 13:8

1Ki 13:8The man of God said to the king, If you will give me half your house, I will not go in with you, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

1Ki 13:9

1Ki 13:9for so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.

1Ki 13:10

1Ki 13:10So he went another way, and didn't return by the way that he came to Beit-El.

The Disobedient Prophet

1Ki 13:11

1Ki 13:11Now there lived an old prophet in Beit-El; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beit-El: the words which he had spoken to the king, them also they told to their father.

1Ki 13:12

1Ki 13:12Their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Yehudah.

1Ki 13:13

1Ki 13:13He said to his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey; and he rode thereon.

1Ki 13:14

1Ki 13:14He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Yehudah? He said, I am.

1Ki 13:15

1Ki 13:15Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

1Ki 13:16

1Ki 13:16He said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:

1Ki 13:17

1Ki 13:17for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.

1Ki 13:18

1Ki 13:18He said to him, I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.

1Ki 13:19

1Ki 13:19So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

1Ki 13:20

1Ki 13:20It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who brought him back;

1Ki 13:21

1Ki 13:21and he cried to the man of God who came from Yehudah, saying, Thus says the LORD, Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the mitzvah which the LORD your God commanded you,

1Ki 13:22

1Ki 13:22but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.

1Ki 13:23

1Ki 13:23It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

1Ki 13:24

1Ki 13:24When he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him: and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.

1Ki 13:25

1Ki 13:25Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

1Ki 13:26

1Ki 13:26When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the LORD: therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him.

1Ki 13:27

1Ki 13:27He spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the donkey. They saddled it.

1Ki 13:28

1Ki 13:28He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.

1Ki 13:29

1Ki 13:29The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.

1Ki 13:30

1Ki 13:30He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

1Ki 13:31

1Ki 13:31It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

1Ki 13:32

1Ki 13:32For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beit-El, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Shomron, shall surely happen.

1Ki 13:33

1Ki 13:33After this thing Yarov`am didn't return from his evil way, but made again from among all the people Kohanim of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be Kohanim of the high places.

1Ki 13:34

1Ki 13:34This thing became sin to the house of Yarov`am, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the eretz.
