The Man of God Speaks Against Bethel

13 ·The Lord commanded [^LBy the word of the Lord] a man of God from Judah ·to go [went up] to Bethel. When he arrived, Jeroboam was standing by the altar to ·offer a sacrifice [burn incense]. ² ·The Lord had commanded [^LBy the word of the Lord] the man of God ·to speak [spoke] against the altar. The man said, “Altar, altar, the Lord says to you: ‘David’s ·family [^Lhouse] will ·have [have born] a son named Josiah. The priests ·for the places of worship [^Lof the high places; 3:2] now ·make their sacrifices [burn incense] on you, but Josiah will sacrifice those priests on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’”
