1 Kings 13:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And he cried against the altar by the Commandment of the LORD, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, a child shall be born to the House of David, Josiah by name. And upon you shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you. And they shall burn men’s bones upon you.’”

³ And he gave a sign at the same time, saying, “This is the sign that the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar shall tear, and the ashes that are upon it shall fall out.”

⁴ And when the king had heard the saying of the man of God, which he had cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand for the altar, saying, “Lay hold on him!” But his hand which he put forth against him dried up. And he could not pull it back in.
