1 Kings 13:3-5

New English Translation

³ That day he had also given a sign, saying, “This is the sign that the Lord has declared: The altar will split open and the ashes^[a] on it will pour out.” ⁴ When the king heard the prophet’s message that he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam took his hand from the altar and pointed it^[b] saying, “Seize him!” Then the hand that he had pointed at him stiffened up,^[c] and he could not pull it back. ⁵ Meanwhile the altar split open, and the ashes^[d] poured from the altar in fulfillment of the sign the prophet had given with the Lord’s message.
