A man of God who came out of Judah to Bethel cries against the altar, and the altar is split apart

유다에서 벧엘에 이른 하나님의 사람이 단을 향하여 외치고 단이 갈라짐

1 Kings 13:1–5: a man of God comes out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam is standing by the altar to burn incense. The man of God cries against the altar by the LORD’s word, and says, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’” He gives a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.” When the king hears the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam puts out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” The text says, “His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself. The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the LORD’s word.” WEB says “He” at 13:2, where the Korean Revised Version names the man of God (하나님의 사람이); the Korean reads 저가 … 사람의 뼈를 네 위에 사르리라, with “he” where WEB has “they will burn men’s bones on you”, and names Jeroboam as king (여로보암왕이) at 13:4, where WEB says “the king”.
