In context — 1 Kings 13:4
And it happened, when the king heard the word of the man of God that he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from upon the altar, saying, “Seize him!” But his hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up so that he was not able to bring it back to himself.
