3 That day he also announced a sign, |This is the sign the LORD has predetermined: The altar will be split open and the ashes on it will fall to the ground.| 4 When the king heard what the prophet cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam, standing at the altar, extended his hand and ordered, |Seize him!| The hand he had extended shriveled up and he could not pull it back. 5 The altar split open and the ashes fell from the altar to the ground, in fulfillment of the sign the prophet had announced with the LORD's authority. 1 Kings 13:3-5, New English Translation.
