Was at the king’s new altar the day it split.
I live in Bethel, where King Jeroboam set up one of his golden calves and his own festival. I was there when the man from Judah came.
Bethel, IsraelFirst seen 1 Kings 13:1
Okay, so. Jeroboam’s standing at the altar about to burn incense, and this man from Judah starts shouting at the altar. The king points at him: seize him! And the hand he’s pointing with shrivels up. He can’t pull it back. Then the altar splits and the ashes pour out.

He had to ask the man to pray to the LORD for him. He did, and the king’s hand came back.
