2 He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, |Altar, altar, thus says the LORD: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'| 3 He gave a sign the same day, saying, |This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.| 4 It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, |Seize him.| His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself. 5 The altar also was split apart, 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. 1 Kings 13:2-5, New Heart English Bible.
