1 Kings 13 Text (WEB)
  1. Behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
  2. He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
  3. He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out."
  4. It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him!" His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
  5. The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.
  6. The king answered the man of God, "Now entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
  7. The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
  8. The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
  9. for so was it commanded me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
  10. So he went another way, and didn't return by the way that he came to Bethel.
  11. Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
  12. Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
  13. He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
  14. He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I am."
  15. Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
  16. He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
  17. For it was said to me by the word of Yahweh, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
  18. He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to him.
  19. So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
  20. It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back;
  21. and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,
  22. but came 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.'"
  23. It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
  24. When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
  25. Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
  26. When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to him."
  27. He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
  28. He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
  29. The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
  30. He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother!"
  31. It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
  32. For the saying which he cried by the word of Yahweh against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
  33. After this thing Jeroboam didn't return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
  34. This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
1 Kings 13 Text (Hebrew)
  1. והנה איש אלהים בא מיהודה בדבר יהוה אל־בית־אל וירבעם עמד על־המזבח להקטיר׃
  2. ויקרא על־המזבח בדבר יהוה ויאמר מזבח מזבח כה אמר יהוה הנה־בן נולד לבית־דוד יאשיהו שמו וזבח עליך את־כהני הבמות המקטרים עליך ועצמות אדם ישרפו עליך׃
  3. ונתן ביום ההוא מופת לאמר זה המופת אשר דבר יהוה הנה המזבח נקרע ונשפך הדשן אשר־עליו׃
  4. ויהי כשמע המלך את־דבר איש־האלהים אשר קרא על־המזבח בבית־אל וישלח ירבעם את־ידו מעל המזבח לאמר תפשהו ותיבש ידו אשר שלח עליו ולא יכל להשיבה אליו׃
  5. והמזבח נקרע וישפך הדשן מן־המזבח כמופת אשר נתן איש האלהים בדבר יהוה׃
  6. ויען המלך ויאמר אל־איש האלהים חל־נא את־פני יהוה אלהיך והתפלל בעדי ותשב ידי אלי ויחל איש־האלהים את־פני יהוה ותשב יד־המלך אליו ותהי כבראשנה׃
  7. וידבר המלך אל־איש האלהים באה־אתי הביתה וסעדה ואתנה לך מתת׃
  8. ויאמר איש־האלהים אל־המלך אם־תתן־לי את־חצי ביתך לא אבא עמך ולא־אכל לחם ולא אשתה־מים במקום הזה׃
  9. כי־כן צוה אתי בדבר יהוה לאמר לא־תאכל לחם ולא תשתה־מים ולא תשוב בדרך אשר הלכת׃
  10. וילך בדרך אחר ולא־שב בדרך אשר בא בה אל־בית־אל׃ ף
  11. ונביא אחד זקן ישב בבית־אל ויבוא בנו ויספר־לו את־כל־המעשה אשר־עשה איש־האלהים היום בבית־אל את־הדברים אשר דבר אל־המלך ויספרום לאביהם׃
  12. וידבר אלהם אביהם אי־זה הדרך הלך ויראו בניו את־הדרך אשר הלך איש האלהים אשר־בא מיהודה׃
  13. ויאמר אל־בניו חבשו־לי החמור ויחבשו־לו החמור וירכב עליו׃
  14. וילך אחרי איש האלהים וימצאהו ישב תחת האלה ויאמר אליו האתה איש־האלהים אשר־באת מיהודה ויאמר אני׃
  15. ויאמר אליו לך אתי הביתה ואכל לחם׃
  16. ויאמר לא אוכל לשוב אתך ולבוא אתך ולא־אכל לחם ולא־אשתה אתך מים במקום הזה׃
  17. כי־דבר אלי בדבר יהוה לא־תאכל לחם ולא־תשתה שם מים לא־תשוב ללכת בדרך אשר־הלכת בה׃
  18. ויאמר לו גם־אני נביא כמוך ומלאך דבר אלי בדבר יהוה לאמר השבהו אתך אל־ביתך ויאכל לחם וישת מים כחש לו׃
  19. וישב אתו ויאכל לחם בביתו וישת מים׃
  20. ויהי הם ישבים אל־השלחן ף ויהי דבר־יהוה אל־הנביא אשר השיבו׃
  21. ויקרא אל־איש האלהים אשר־בא מיהודה לאמר כה אמר יהוה יען כי מרית פי יהוה ולא שמרת את־המצוה אשר צוך יהוה אלהיך׃
  22. ותשב ותאכל לחם ותשת מים במקום אשר דבר אליך אל־תאכל לחם ואל־תשת מים לא־תבוא נבלתך אל־קבר אבתיך׃
  23. ויהי אחרי אכלו לחם ואחרי שתותו ויחבש־לו החמור לנביא אשר השיבו׃
  24. וילך וימצאהו אריה בדרך וימיתהו ותהי נבלתו משלכת בדרך והחמור עמד אצלה והאריה עמד אצל הנבלה׃
  25. והנה אנשים עברים ויראו את־הנבלה משלכת בדרך ואת־האריה עמד אצל הנבלה ויבאו וידברו בעיר אשר הנביא הזקן ישב בה׃
  26. וישמע הנביא אשר השיבו מן־הדרך ויאמר איש האלהים הוא אשר מרה את־פי יהוה ויתנהו יהוה לאריה וישברהו וימתהו כדבר יהוה אשר דבר־לו׃
  27. וידבר אל־בניו לאמר חבשו־לי את־החמור ויחבשו׃
  28. וילך וימצא את־נבלתו משלכת בדרך וחמור והאריה עמדים אצל הנבלה לא־אכל האריה את־הנבלה ולא שבר את־החמור׃
  29. וישא הנביא את־נבלת איש־האלהים וינחהו אל־החמור וישיבהו ויבא אל־עיר הנביא הזקן לספד ולקברו׃
  30. וינח את־נבלתו בקברו ויספדו עליו הוי אחי׃
  31. ויהי אחרי קברו אתו ויאמר אל־בניו לאמר במותי וקברתם אתי בקבר אשר איש האלהים קבור בו אצל עצמתיו הניחו את־עצמתי׃
  32. כי היה יהיה הדבר אשר קרא בדבר יהוה על־המזבח אשר בבית־אל ועל כל־בתי הבמות אשר בערי שמרון׃ ף
  33. אחר הדבר הזה לא־שב ירבעם מדרכו הרעה וישב ויעש מקצות העם כהני במות החפץ ימלא את־ידו ויהי כהני במות׃
  34. ויהי בדבר הזה לחטאת בית ירבעם ולהכחיד ולהשמיד מעל פני האדמה׃ ף

  1. και ιδου ανθρωπος του θεου εξ ιουδα παρεγενετο εν λογω κυριου εις βαιθηλ και ιεροβοαμ ειστηκει επι το θυσιαστηριον του
  2. και επεκαλεσεν προς το θυσιαστηριον εν λογω κυριου και ειπεν θυσιαστηριον θυσιαστηριον ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου υιος τικτεται τω οικω δαυιδ ιωσιας ονομα αυτω και θυσει επι σε τους ιερεις των υψηλων τους επιθυοντας επι σε και οστα ανθρωπων καυσει επι
  3. και εδωκεν εν τη ημερα εκεινη τερας λεγων τουτο το ρημα ο ελαλησεν κυριος λεγων ιδου το θυσιαστηριον ρηγνυται και εκχυθησεται η πιοτης η επ'
  4. και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς ιεροβοαμ των λογων του ανθρωπου του θεου του επικαλεσαμενου επι το θυσιαστηριον το εν βαιθηλ και εξετεινεν ο βασιλευς την χειρα αυτου απο του θυσιαστηριου λεγων συλλαβετε αυτον και ιδου εξηρανθη η χειρ αυτου ην εξετεινεν επ' αυτον και ουκ ηδυνηθη επιστρεψαι αυτην προς
  5. και το θυσιαστηριον ερραγη και εξεχυθη η πιοτης απο του θυσιαστηριου κατα το τερας ο εδωκεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου εν λογω
  6. και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ιεροβοαμ τω ανθρωπω του θεου δεηθητι του προσωπου κυριου του θεου σου και επιστρεψατω η χειρ μου προς με και εδεηθη ο ανθρωπος του θεου του προσωπου κυριου και επεστρεψεν την χειρα του βασιλεως προς αυτον και εγενετο καθως το
  7. και ελαλησεν ο βασιλευς προς τον ανθρωπον του θεου εισελθε μετ' εμου εις οικον και αριστησον και δωσω σοι
  8. και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου προς τον βασιλεα εαν μοι δως το ημισυ του οικου σου ουκ εισελευσομαι μετα σου ουδε μη φαγω αρτον ουδε μη πιω υδωρ εν τω τοπω
  9. οτι ουτως ενετειλατο μοι εν λογω κυριος λεγων μη φαγης αρτον και μη πιης υδωρ και μη επιστρεψης εν τη οδω η επορευθης εν
  10. και απηλθεν εν οδω αλλη και ουκ ανεστρεψεν εν τη οδω η ηλθεν εν αυτη εις
  11. και προφητης εις πρεσβυτης κατωκει εν βαιθηλ και ερχονται οι υιοι αυτου και διηγησαντο αυτω απαντα τα εργα α εποιησεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου εν τη ημερα εκεινη εν βαιθηλ και τους λογους ους ελαλησεν τω βασιλει και επεστρεψαν το προσωπον του πατρος
  12. και ελαλησεν προς αυτους ο πατηρ αυτων λεγων ποια οδω πεπορευται και δεικνυουσιν αυτω οι υιοι αυτου την οδον εν η ανηλθεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου ο ελθων εξ
  13. και ειπεν τοις υιοις αυτου επισαξατε μοι τον ονον και επεσαξαν αυτω τον ονον και επεβη επ'
  14. και επορευθη κατοπισθεν του ανθρωπου του θεου και ευρεν αυτον καθημενον υπο δρυν και ειπεν αυτω ει συ ει ο ανθρωπος του θεου ο εληλυθως εξ ιουδα και ειπεν αυτω
  15. και ειπεν αυτω δευρο μετ' εμου και φαγε
  16. και ειπεν ου μη δυνωμαι του επιστρεψαι μετα σου ουδε μη φαγομαι αρτον ουδε πιομαι υδωρ εν τω τοπω
  17. οτι ουτως εντεταλται μοι εν λογω κυριος λεγων μη φαγης αρτον εκει και μη πιης υδωρ εκει και μη επιστρεψης εν τη οδω η επορευθης εν
  18. και ειπεν προς αυτον καγω προφητης ειμι καθως συ και αγγελος λελαληκεν προς με εν ρηματι κυριου λεγων επιστρεψον αυτον προς σεαυτον εις τον οικον σου και φαγετω αρτον και πιετω υδωρ και εψευσατο
  19. και επεστρεψεν αυτον και εφαγεν αρτον και επιεν υδωρ εν τω οικω
  20. και εγενετο αυτων καθημενων επι της τραπεζης και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς τον προφητην τον επιστρεψαντα
  21. και ειπεν προς τον ανθρωπον του θεου τον ηκοντα εξ ιουδα λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ' ων παρεπικρανας το ρημα κυριου και ουκ εφυλαξας την εντολην ην ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος
  22. και επεστρεψας και εφαγες αρτον και επιες υδωρ εν τω τοπω τουτω ω ελαλησεν προς σε λεγων μη φαγης αρτον και μη πιης υδωρ ου μη εισελθη το σωμα σου εις τον ταφον των πατερων
  23. και εγενετο μετα το φαγειν αρτον και πιειν υδωρ και επεσαξεν αυτω τον ονον και
  24. και απηλθεν και ευρεν αυτον λεων εν τη οδω και εθανατωσεν αυτον και ην το σωμα αυτου ερριμμενον εν τη οδω και ο ονος ειστηκει παρ' αυτο και ο λεων ειστηκει παρα το
  25. και ιδου ανδρες παραπορευομενοι και ειδον το θνησιμαιον ερριμμενον εν τη οδω και ο λεων ειστηκει εχομενα του θνησιμαιου και εισηλθον και ελαλησαν εν τη πολει ου ο προφητης ο πρεσβυτης κατωκει εν
  26. και ηκουσεν ο επιστρεψας αυτον εκ της οδου και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου ουτος εστιν ος παρεπικρανε το ρημα

1 Kings 13 Text (Latin)
  1. Et ecce vir Dei venit de Juda in sermone Domini in Bethel, Jeroboam stante super altare, et thus jaciente.
  2. Et exclamavit contra altare in sermone Domini, et ait : Altare, altare, hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce filius nascetur domui David, Josias nomine, et immolabit super te sacerdotes excelsorum, qui nunc in te thura succendunt, et ossa hominum super te incendet.
  3. Deditque in illa die signum, dicens : Hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus : ecce altare scindetur, et effundetur cinis qui in eo est.
  4. Cumque audisset rex sermonem hominis Dei, quem inclamaverat contra altare in Bethel, extendit manum suam de altari, dicens : Apprehendite eum. Et exaruit manus ejus, quam extenderat contra eum : nec valuit retrahere eam ad se.
  5. Altare quoque scissum est, et effusus est cinis de altari, juxta signum quod prædixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini.
  6. Et ait rex ad virum Dei : Deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui, et ora pro me, ut restituatur manus mea mihi. Oravitque vir Dei faciem Domini, et reversa est manus regis ad eum, et facta est sicut prius fuerat.
  7. Locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei : Veni mecum domum ut prandeas, et dabo tibi munera.
  8. Responditque vir Dei ad regem : Si dederis mihi mediam partem domus tuæ, non veniam tecum, nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto :
  9. sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini præcipientis : Non comedes panem, neque bibes aquam, nec reverteris per viam qua venisti.
  10. Abiit ergo per aliam viam, et non est reversus per iter quo venerat in Bethel.
  11. Prophetes autem quidam senex habitabat in Bethel, ad quem venerunt filii sui, et narraverunt ei omnia opera, quæ fecerat vir Dei illa die in Bethel : et verba quæ locutus fuerat ad regem, narraverunt patri suo.
  12. Et dixit eis pater eorum : Per quam viam abiit ? Ostenderunt ei filii sui viam, per quam abierat vir Dei, qui venerat de Juda.
  13. Et ait filiis suis : Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent, ascendit,
  14. et abiit post virum Dei, et invenit eum sedentem subtus terebinthum : et ait illi : Tune es vir Dei qui venisti de Juda ? Respondit ille : Ego sum.
  15. Dixitque ad eum : Veni mecum domum, ut comedas panem.
  16. Qui ait : Non possum reverti, neque venire tecum, nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto :
  17. quia locutus est Dominus ad me in sermone Domini, dicens : Non comedes panem, et non bibes aquam ibi, nec reverteris per viam qua ieris.
  18. Qui ait illi : Et ego propheta sum similis tui : et angelus locutus est mihi in sermone Domini, dicens : Reduc eum tecum in domum tuam, ut comedat panem, et bibat aquam. Fefellit eum,
  19. et reduxit secum : comedit ergo panem in domo ejus, et bibit aquam.
  20. Cumque sederent ad mensam, factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam, qui reduxerat eum.
  21. Et exclamavit ad virum Dei, qui venerat de Juda, dicens : Hæc dicit Dominus : Quia non obediens fuisti ori Domini, et non custodisti mandatum quod præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus,
  22. et reversus es, et comedisti panem, et bibisti aquam in loco in quo præcepit tibi ne comederes panem, neque biberes aquam, non inferetur cadaver tuum in sepulchrum patrum tuorum.
  23. Cumque comedisset et bibisset, stravit asinum suum prophetæ, quem reduxerat.
  24. Qui cum abiisset, invenit eum leo in via, et occidit, et erat cadaver ejus projectum in itinere : asinus autem stabat juxta illum, et leo stabat juxta cadaver.
  25. Et ecce, viri transeuntes viderunt cadaver projectum in via, et leonem stantem juxta cadaver. Et venerunt et divulgaverunt in civitate, in qua prophetes ille senex habitabat.
  26. Quod cum audisset propheta ille, qui reduxerat eum, ait : Vir Dei est, qui inobediens fuit ori Domini, et tradidit eum Dominus leoni, et confregit eum, et occidit juxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ei.
  27. Dixitque ad filios suos : Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent,
  28. et ille abiisset, invenit cadaver ejus projectum in via, et asinum et leonem stantem juxta cadaver : non comedit leo de cadavere, nec læsit asinum.
  29. Tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei, et posuit illud super asinum, et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetæ senis ut plangeret eum.
  30. Et posuit cadaver ejus in sepulchro suo, et planxerunt eum : Heu, heu mi frater !
  31. Cumque planxissent eum, dixit ad filios suos : Cum mortuus fuero, sepelite me in sepulchro, in quo vir Dei sepultus est : juxta ossa ejus ponite ossa mea.
  32. Profecto enim veniet sermo, quem prædixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel, et contra omnia fana excelsorum, quæ sunt in urbibus Samariæ.
  33. Post verba hæc non est reversus Jeroboam de via sua pessima, sed e contrario fecit de novissimis populi sacerdotes excelsorum : quicumque volebat, implebat manum suam, et fiebat sacerdos excelsorum.
  34. Et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Jeroboam, et eversa est, et deleta de superficie terræ.
1 Kings 13 Text (KJV)
  1. And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
  2. And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
  3. And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
  4. And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
  5. The altar also was rent, 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.
  6. And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
  7. And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
  8. And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
  9. For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
  10. So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
  11. Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
  12. And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
  13. And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
  14. And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
  15. Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
  16. And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
  17. For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
  18. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
  19. So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
  20. And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
  21. And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
  22. But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
  23. And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
  24. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
  25. And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
  26. And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

  30. And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
  31. And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

  34. And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
