1 Kings 13:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
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, [a]Lay hold on him: but his hand which he put forth against him, dried up, and he could not pull it in again to him.
5 The altar also clave asunder, and the ashes fell out from the altar, according to the sign, which the man of God had given by the [b]commandment of the Lord.
6 Then the king answered and said unto the man of God, [c]I beseech thee, pray unto the Lord thy God, and make intercession for me, that mine hand may be restored unto me. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the King’s hand was restored, and became as it was afore.
