1 Kings 13:4 in Context — 1 Kings 13

2 Ele clamou contra o altar por palavra do SENHOR, e disse: Altar, altar, assim disse o SENHOR: Eis que à casa de Davi nascerá um filho, chamado Josias, o qual sacrificará sobre ti aos sacerdotes dos altos que queimam sobre ti incenso; e sobre ti queimarão ossos humanos.

3 E aquele mesmo dia deu um sinal, dizendo: Esta é o sinal de que o SENHOR falou: eis que que o altar se quebrará, e a cinza que sobre ele está se derramará.

4 E quando o rei Jeroboão ouviu a palavra do homem de Deus, que havia clamado contra o altar de Betel, estendendo sua mão desde o altar, disse: Prendei-lhe! Mas a mão que havia estendido contra ele, se lhe secou, que não a pôde voltar a si.

5 E o altar se rompeu, e derramou-se a cinza do altar, conforme o sinal que o homem de Deus havia dado por palavra do SENHOR.

6 Então respondendo o rei, disse ao homem de Deus: Peço-te que rogues à face do SENHOR teu Deus, e ora por mim, que minha mão me seja restituída. E o homem de Deus orou à face do SENHOR, e a mão do rei se lhe recuperou e tornou-se como antes.
