rsv@1Kings:13:1 @ And behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Bethel. Jerobo'am was standing by the altar to burn incense.

rsv@1Kings:13:2 @ And the man cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD: `Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josi'ah by name; and he shall sacrifice upon you the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and men's bones shall be burned upon you.'"

rsv@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign that the LORD has spoken: `Behold, the altar shall be torn down, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.'"

rsv@1Kings:13:4 @ And when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar at Bethel, Jerobo'am stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Lay hold of him." And his hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

rsv@1Kings:13:5 @ The altar also was torn down, 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.

rsv@1Kings:13:6 @ And the king said to the man of God, "Entreat now the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." And the man of God entreated the LORD; and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as it was before.

rsv@1Kings:13:7 @ And the king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."

rsv@1Kings:13:8 @ And the man of God said to the king, "If you give me half your house, I will not go in with you. And I will not eat bread or drink water in this place;

rsv@1Kings:13:9 @ for so was it commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, `You shall neither eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that you came.'"

rsv@1Kings:13:11 @ Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel. And his sons came and told him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words also which he had spoken to the king, they told to their father.

rsv@1Kings:13:12 @ And their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" And his sons showed him the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

rsv@1Kings:13:13 @ And he said to his sons, "Saddle the ass for me." So they saddled the ass for him and he mounted it.

rsv@1Kings:13:14 @ And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am."

rsv@1Kings:13:15 @ Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread."

rsv@1Kings:13:16 @ And he said, "I may not return with you, or go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place;

rsv@1Kings:13:17 @ for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, `You shall neither eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by the way that you came.'"

rsv@1Kings:13:18 @ And he said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, `Bring him back with you into your house that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him.

rsv@1Kings:13:19 @ So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

rsv@1Kings:13:20 @ And as they sat at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

rsv@1Kings:13:21 @ and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, "Thus says the LORD, `Because you have disobeyed the word of the LORD, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

rsv@1Kings:13:22 @ but have come back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'"
