1Yo, a man of God straight up rolled in from Judah, vibing with the word of the Lord, and Jeroboam was just chilling by the altar, burning incense.

2He shouted at the altar, saying, "Yo altar, listen up! The Lord's got a message: A kid named Josiah from David's fam is gonna pop off, and he's gonna roast the priests on you, no cap."

3He dropped a sign that day, saying, "This is the sign from the Lord: The altar's gonna get wrecked, and the ashes are gonna spill out."

4When king Jeroboam caught wind of what the man of God said about the altar, he reached out his hand to grab him, but his hand went all dry, and he couldn't pull it back.

5The altar got wrecked too, and the ashes spilled out just like the man of God said, fr.

6The king was like, "Yo, man of God, pray to the Lord for me so my hand can be healed." And the man of God went to bat for him, and the king's hand was all good again, just like before.

7The king said, "Come chill at my place, grab a snack, and I'll hook you up with a reward."

8The man of God was like, "Even if you offered me half your house, I ain't rolling with you or eating or drinking here, periodt."

9'Cause the Lord told me, "Don't eat bread, don't drink water, and don't go back the same way you came."

10So he dipped another way and didn't go back the way he came to Beth-el.

11There was this old prophet chillin' in Beth-el, and his sons rolled up, spillin' all the tea about what the man of God did that day, including the convo with the king.

12Their dad was like, "Yo, which way did he dip?" 'Cause the sons peeped where the man of God went, straight outta Judah.

13He told his sons, "Saddle me that donkey." So they saddled it up, and he hopped on.

14He chased after the man of God and found him chillin' under an oak, and asked, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" The man was like, "Yup, that's me."

15Then he said, "Come through to my crib and grab some bread."

16The man replied, "Nah fam, I can't roll back with you, nor eat or drink here."

17'Cause the Lord told me, "No bread, no water in this spot, and don’t go back the way you came."

18The dude said, "I’m a prophet too, just like you; an angel slid into my DMs sayin', 'Bring him back to your place to eat and drink.' But he was totally capping.

19So he went back with him, and they ate bread at his house and drank some water.

20While they were chillin' at the table, the word of the Lord hit the prophet who brought him back.

21Dude cried out to the man of God from Judah, saying, "Yo, the Lord's not vibing with your disobedience and you totally ignored His commandments, fr."

22"But you came back, ate bread, and drank water when the Lord said, 'No bread, no water'; now your body ain't gonna chill in your fam's grave, periodt."

23So after he ate and drank, he saddled up the donkey for the prophet he brought back, no cap.

24But then a lion showed up on the road and straight-up took him out; his body was left there, and the donkey was just chilling by it while the lion stood guard.

25Some guys passed by, saw the body on the road, and the lion just chilling there too; they went and spilled the tea in the city where the old prophet lived.

26When the prophet who brought him back heard the news, he was like, "That's the man of God who didn't listen to the Lord's word; now the Lord let the lion do its thing, savage."

27He told his sons, "Saddle me that donkey," and they got it done.

28He went and found the body on the road, with the donkey and the lion just standing by it; the lion didn't eat the body or mess with the donkey, sus.

29The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, put it on the donkey, and brought it back; then the old prophet went to the city to mourn and bury him, lit.

30He laid the body in his own grave, and they were all mourning, saying, "Man, what a loss, my brother!"

31So after he buried him, he told his sons, "When I kick the bucket, just put me next to the dude of God in the tomb, vibe check my bones with his."

32The shout he threw down by the Lord's word against the altar in Beth-el and all the high place spots in Samaria? That’s gonna pop off for real.

33Jeroboam just kept living that sus life, bringing in the low-key people as priests for those high places: if you wanted in, he made you a priest.

34This whole situation became a major sin for Jeroboam's fam, like, cutting them off and wiping them from the earth, no cap.

1And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth–el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

2And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.

3And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

4And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which 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.

5The altar also was rent, 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.

6And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

7And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

8And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

9For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth–el.

11Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth–el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth–el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

12And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

13And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

14And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

15Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

16And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

17For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

18He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

20And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back:

21And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,

22But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

23And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

24And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

25And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

26And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him.

27And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

28And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.

29And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

30And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

31And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

32For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth–el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

33After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

34And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
