2. And he cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the LORD;
3. And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD has spoken;
4. And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Beth-el, 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.
5. The altar also was torn, 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.
