Verse 3 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Kings. A man of God from Judah arrives at Bethel and announces against the altar that Josiah, centuries later, will desecrate that place. Jeroboam attempts to stop him, but his hand becomes paralyzed and is later restored when the prophet intercedes. The episode demonstrates that Jeroboam’s new religious system has no authority over the prophetic word. The king may control institutions, but he cannot silence God’s word.
