Cuando el rey oyó la palabra del varón de Dios, que protestó contra el altar en Betel, Jeroboam extendió su mano desde el altar, diciendo: «¡Prendedle!» Pero la mano que había extendido contra él se secó, y no la pudo retraer.
And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, 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.
