1 Kungaboken 13:4

Och det skedde när kungen hörde gudsmannens ord som han ropade mot altaret i Betel, att Jerobeam sträckte fram sin hand mot altaret och sa: ”Ta tag i honom” och hans hand som han hade sträckt fram mot honom torkade (stelnade) så att han inte kunde dra tillbaka den.

And 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.
