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. 6 The king pled with the prophet, |Seek the favor of the LORD your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored.| So the prophet sought the LORD's favor and the king's hand was restored to its former condition. 1 Kings 13:4-6, New English Translation.
