The Message of the Man of God

1 And behold, aa man of God went from Judah to Bethel by the word of the Lord, band Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.  
2 Then he cried out against the altar1 by the word of the Lord, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a child, aJosiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones shall be bburned on you.’ ”  
3 And he gave aa sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the Lord has spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out.”  
4 So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Arrest him!” Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back 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 the Lord.
