Melachim I Perek 13

• A navi approached Yiravam while he was bringing sacrifices in his “mini Beis Hamikdash.” (Rashi & Radak: The navi’s name was Ado.)

• The navi related to Yiravam that a son from the house of Dovid named Yoshiyahu will be born, and human bones will have brought on your altar. The altar will split in half and ashes will fall.

• Yiravam stuck out his arm and ordered the navi to be captured. Hashem made Yiravam’s arm become paralyzed.

• Yiravam asked for the navi to pray for him to be healed. The navi consented and Yiravam’s arm was healed.

• The navi refused a meal offered by Yiravam, saying that he had strict orders from Hashem not to eat food from anyone in the city, (as it is forbidden to derive pleasure from idol worship.)

• There was a false navi (according to most meforshim) who heard the news about the aforementioned incident from his child.

• The false navi tracked down the real navi and offered him a place to eat.

• Again, the real navi declined, relating that he had been commanded by Hashem not to eat with anyone from the city.

• The false navi tricked and convinced the real navi to come for a meal. (Radak: the false navi told him, “Hashem didn’t want you to eat from anyone who serves idols, but I’m a proper navi, just like you, so you may eat by me.)

• In the middle of the meal, the false navi received a prophecy: the real navi will die on his way home.

• A lion killed the real navi on his way home.

• A lion and donkey stayed by the dead body as a marker of the body’s location.

• The false navi gathered the body and buried it in his own personal plot.

• Yiravam continued to cause Yisrael harm and destruction.
