1 Kings 13:4

4 When the king heard what the prophet ^{▼▼ Heb “the man of God.”} cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam, standing at the altar, extended his hand ^{▼▼ Heb “Jeroboam extended his hand from the altar.”} and ordered, ^{▼▼ Heb “saying.”} “Seize him!” The hand he had extended shriveled up ^{▼▼ Heb “dried up” or “withered.” TEV and NLT interpret this as “became paralyzed.”} and he could not pull it back.
