1 Kings 13:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ When the king heard the word of the man of God and how he cried out to the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam stretched his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand that Jeroboam stretched out against the man of God grew stiff. Jeroboam wasn’t able to bend it back to himself. ⁵ The altar broke apart, and the ashes spilled out from the altar, just like the sign that the man of God gave by the Lord’s word. ⁶ The king said to the man of God, “Plead before the Lord your God and pray for me so that I can bend my hand back again.” So the man of God pleaded before the Lord, and the king’s hand returned to normal and was like it used to be.
