Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:4 - Now when the king H4428 heard H8085 the statement H1697 of the man H376 of God H430 which H834 he cried H7121 out H7121 against H5921 the altar H4196 in Bethel H1008, Jeroboam H3379 stretched H7971 out H7971 his hand H3027 from the altar H4196, saying H559, “Seize H8610 him!” But his hand H3027 which H834 he had stretched H7971 out H7971 toward H5921 him dried H3001 up H3001, and he could H3201 not draw H7725 it back H7725 to himself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:5 - The altar H4196 also was torn H7167 to H7167 pieces H7167 and the [fn]ashes H1880 were poured H8210 out H8210 from the altar H4196, in accordance with the [fn]sign H4159 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had given H5414 by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:6 - And the king H4428 responded H6030 and said H559 to the man H376 of God H430, “Please H4994 [fn]appease H2470 H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 and pray H6419 for me, so that my hand H3027 may be restored H7725 to me.” So the man H376 of God H430 [fn]appeased H2470 H6440 the LORD H3068, and the king’s H4428 hand H3027 was restored H7725 to him, and it became H1961 as it was before H7223.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:7 - Then the king H4428 said H1696 to the man H376 of God H430, “Come H935 home H1004 with me and refresh H5582 yourself, and I will give H5414 you a gift H4991.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:8 - But the man H376 of God H430 said H559 to the king H4428, “If H518 you were to give H5414 me half H2677 your house H1004, I would not go H935 with you, nor H3808 would I eat H398 bread H3899 or drink H8354 water H4325 in this H2088 place H4725.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ki 13:9 - “For so H3651 [fn]it was commanded H6680 me by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068, saying H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 bread H3899 nor H3808 drink H8354 water H4325, nor H3808 return H7725 by the way H1870 that you came H1980.’”
