1 Kings 13
13
1And, behold, there came a man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] out of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto Beit-El [House of God]: and Yarov’am [the people will contend] stood by the altar to burn incense.
2And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David [beloved], Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] by name; and upon youi shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon youi, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon youi.
3And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
4And it came to pass, when king Yarov’am [the people will contend] heard the saying of the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], which had cried against the altar in Beit-El [House of God], 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.
5The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] had given by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
6And the king answered and said unto the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], Entreat now the face of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] besought the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as [it was] before.
7And the king said unto the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give youi a reward.
8And the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto the king, If youi will give me half youri house, I will not go in with youi, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
9For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that youi came.
10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beit-El [House of God].
11Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beit-El [House of God]; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] had done that day in Beit-El [House of God]: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
12And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] went, which came from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
13And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
14And went after the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, [Are] youi the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that came from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]? And he said, I [am].
15Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16And he said, I may not return with youi, nor go in with youi: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with youi in this place:
17For it was said to me by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that youi came.
18He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as youi [are]; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, Bring him back with youi into youri house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.
19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto the prophet that brought him back:
21And he cried unto the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that came from Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying, Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Forasmuch as youi have disobeyed the mouth of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and have not kept the commandment which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] commanded youi,
22But came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which [the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)] did say to youi, Eat no bread, and drink no water; youri carcass shall not come unto the sepulcher of youri fathers.
23And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [that is to say], for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.
25And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told [it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [thereof], he said, It [is] the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): therefore the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has delivered him unto the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he spoke unto him.
27And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled [him].
28And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.
29And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
30And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
31And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulcher wherein the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
32For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) against the altar in Beit-El [House of God], and against all the houses of the high places which [are] in the cities of Shomron [watch mountain], shall surely come to pass.
33After this thing Yarov’am [the people will contend] returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of the high places.
34And this thing became sin unto the house of Yarov’am [the people will contend], even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the earth.
