1 Kings 13:5

5 altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini

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.

1 Kings 13:5 In-Context

3 deditque in die illa signum dicens hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus ecce altare scinditur et effunditur cinis qui in eo est
4 cumque audisset rex sermonem hominis Dei quem inclamaverat contra altare in Bethel extendit manum suam de altari dicens adprehendite eum et exaruit manus eius quam extenderat contra eum nec valuit retrahere eam ad se
5 altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini
6 et ait rex ad virum Dei deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui et ora pro me ut restituatur manus mea mihi oravit vir Dei faciem Domini et reversa est manus regis ad eum et facta est sicut prius fuerat
7 locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei veni mecum domum ut prandeas et dabo tibi munera
