4 When King Jeroboam heard the man of God condemning the altar in Bethel, he pointed to the man across the altar. |Arrest him,| he said. But the arm that he used to point to the man of God was paralyzed so that he couldn't pull it back. 5 The altar was torn apart, and the ashes from the altar were poured [on the ground]. This was the miraculous sign the man of God performed at the LORD's command. 6 Then the king asked the man of God, |Please make an appeal to the LORD your God, and pray for me so that I can use my arm again.| So the man of God made an appeal to the LORD, and the king was able to use his arm again, as he had earlier. 1 Kings 13:4-6, God's Word Translation.
