1 Kings 13:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:5

The altar also was rent
Split into two parts perhaps, and one fell one way, and the other another;

and the ashes poured out from the altar;
the ashes of the burnt offering, these were spilled on the ground; all which was done without any outward force, or any visible means thereof:

according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the
Lord;
by his direction and order.

3 At the same time he announced a sign: "This is the proof God gives - the Altar will split into pieces and the holy offerings spill into the dirt."

4 When the king heard the message the holy man preached against the Altar at Bethel, he reached out to grab him, yelling, "Arrest him!" But his arm was paralyzed and hung useless.

5 At the same time the Altar broke apart and the holy offerings all spilled into the dirt - the very sign the holy man had announced by God's command.

6 The king pleaded with the holy man, "Help me! Pray to your God for the healing of my arm." The holy man prayed for him and the king's arm was healed - as good as new!

7 Then the king invited the holy man, "Join me for a meal; I have a gift for you."
