Melachim I 13 מלכים א י״ג

Then behold, a man of God came from Yehudah, with the word of Adonoy, to Beis Eil; and Yerovom was standing at the Altar to burn an incense offering.

And [the man] called to the altar with the word of God [prophecy] and said, “Altar, altar, so has Adonoy spoken, ‘Behold, a son is born to the House of Dovid, and Yoshiyohu is his name, and he will slaughter upon you the priests of the altars who burn incense upon you, and the bones of human beings he will burn upon you.’”

And he gave a sign [proof] on that day saying, “This is the sign that Adonoy has spoken; Behold the Altar will split, and the ashes that are upon it will be spilled.”

And when the king heard the word [message] of the man of God, that he proclaimed about the altar in Beis Eil, Yerovom reached out his hand from above the altar, saying, “Seize him;” but his hand dried up [stiffened] with which he reached out toward him, and he was unable to draw it back to himself.

And the altar split and the ashes spilled from the altar, just as the sign that the man of God gave, by the word of God.

The king cried out and said to the man of God, “Please beseech Adonoy, your God, and pray for me, that my hand return to me.” The man of God beseeched Adonoy and king’s hand was returned to him, as it was originally.

And the king spoke to the man of God; “Come home with me and have a meal, and I will give you a gift.”

And the man of God said to the king, “[Even] if you give me half of your house, I will not come with you; and I will not eat bread, nor will I drink water in this place.

For so has He commanded me by the word of God, saying, “You must not eat bread, nor drink water, and do not return by the road on which you came.”

And so he went on a different way, and he did not return by the road on which he had come to Beis Eil.

There was an old prophet who lived in Beis Eil; and his son came and told him about everything that the man of God performed that day in Beis Eil, [and] the words that he had spoken to the king, they related to their father.

And their father said to them, “By which road did he travel?” His son showed him the road by which the man of God traveled, who had come from Yehudah.

And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” They saddled the donkey for him and he rode on it.

And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under the Ailoh tree; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God, who came from Yehudah?” And he replied, “I am.”

And he said to him, “Come to my house with me and eat bread.”

And he said, “I cannot return with you, or to come with you. I will not eat bread, nor will I drink water with you in this place.

For word came to me by word of Adonoy, ‘Do not eat bread, and do not drink water there. Do not return to travel by the road on which you traveled [to come here].’”

And he said to him, “I too am a prophet like yourself, and an angel spoke to me, with the word of Adonoy, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, and he will eat bread and drink water’” He deceived him.

And he returned with him and he ate bread in his house and drank water.

As they were sitting at the table the word of Adonoy came to the prophet that caused him to return.

And He called to the man of God, who had come from Yehudah saying, “Thus said Adonoy, ‘Since you rebelled against the word of Adonoy, and you did not preserve the mitzvah that Adonoy, your God, commanded you;

and you returned, and ate bread, and drank water in the place about which He told you, “Do not eat bread, and do not drink water,” your corpse will not enter the grave of your fathers.’”

And after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet that he brought back.

And he [the prophet] went [on his way] and a lion found him on the road and killed him; and his corpse was thrown on the road. The donkey remained standing next to it and the lion stood next to the corpse.

And behold, people were passing by and they saw the corpse flung on the road, and the lion standing next to the corpse; and they came and spoke about it in the city in which the old prophet lived.

And the prophet heard [about it] he who had brought him back from the road, and he said, “It is the man of God who rebelled against the word of Adonoy; and Adonoy delivered him to the lion, and the lion crushed him and killed him just like the word of God that He had spoken to him.”

And he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.

And he went and found the corpse flung on the road and the donkey and the lion standing next to the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse and had not crushed the donkey

The prophet carried the corpse of the man of God and placed it on the donkey and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to eulogize him and to bury him.

He placed the corpse in his own grave, and they eulogized him [saying], “Alas my brother.”

After he buried him, he spoke to his sons saying, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; next to his bones, you shall place my bones.

For the message will certainly come to pass that he called out by the word of God concerning the altar that is in Beis Eil, and about all the houses of the altars that are in the cities of Shomron.”

[Even] after all that transpired, Yerovom did not repent from his evil way; and he again appointed from the ends of the people priests for the altars. Whoever desired would be consecrated and become [one of] the priests of the altars.

And this thing became a sin for the house of Yerovom, and caused it to be cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.
