While he was engaged in offering incense at Bethel, a prophet from Judah appeared before him with a warning message from the Lord. Attempting to arrest the prophet for his bold words of defiance, his hand was "dried up," and the altar before which he stood was rent asunder. At his urgent entreaty his "hand was restored him again" (1 Kings 13:1-6,9; Compare 2 Kings 23:15 ); but the miracle made no abiding impression on him. His reign was one of constant war with the house of Judah. He died soon after his son Abijah (1 Kings 14:1-18 ).
His name occurs in Scripture only in 2 Kings 13:13; 14:16,23,27,28,29; 15:1,8; 1 Chronicles 5:17; Hosea 1:1; Amos 1:1; 7:9,10,11 . In all other passages it is Jeroboam the son of Nebat that is meant.
