But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God:

But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God:

But God said to Shemaiah, the man of God,

But the word of God came to Shemaiah, the man of God:

But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

But a revelation from God came to Shemaiah, the man of God:

But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

But God told Shemaiah the prophet,

But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

But a message came to Shemaiah from the Lord. Shemaiah was a man of God. The Lord said to him,

Then the woman said to Elijah,“ Now I know that you are a man of God. I know that the message you have brought from the Lord is true.”

“ You will hold a son in your arms,” Elisha said.“ It will be about this time next year.”“ No, my master!” she objected.“ You are a man of God. So please don’t lie to me!”

Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah. They had gathered together in Jerusalem. They were afraid of Shishak. Shemaiah said to them,“ The Lord says,‘ You have left me. So now I am leaving you to Shishak.’ ”The king and the leaders of Israel made themselves humble in the Lord’ s sight. They said,“ The Lord does what is right and fair.”The Lord saw they had made themselves humble. So he gave a message to Shemaiah. The Lord said,“ They have made themselves humble in my sight. So I will not destroy them. Instead, I will soon save them. Even though I am very angry with Jerusalem, I will not use Shishak to destroy them.

She came to the man of God at the mountain. Then she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away. But the man of God said,“ Leave her alone! She is suffering terribly. But the Lord hasn’t told me the reason for it. He has hidden it from me.”

Here is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave to the Israelites before he died.

But you are a man of God. Run away from all these things. Try hard to do what is right and godly. Have faith, love and gentleness. Hold on to what you believe.

A man of God went from Judah to Bethel. He had received a message from the Lord. He arrived in Bethel just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer a sacrifice.

The woman said to Elijah,“ You are a man of God. What do you have against me? Did you come to bring my sin out into the open? Did you come to kill my son?”

So she started out. She came to Mount Carmel. That’s where the man of God was. When she was still a long way off, he saw her coming. He said to his servant Gehazi,“ Look! There’s the woman from Shunem!

She sent for her husband. She said,“ Please send me one of the servants and a donkey. Then I can go quickly to the man of God and return.”

The man of God announced that message against the altar at Bethel. When King Jeroboam heard it, he reached out his hand from the altar. He said,“ Grab him!” But as he reached out his hand toward the man, it dried up. He couldn’t even pull it back.Also, the altar broke into pieces. Its ashes spilled out. That happened in keeping with the miraculous sign the man of God had announced. He had received a message from the Lord.

An old prophet was living in Bethel. His sons came and spoke to him. They told him everything the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what the man had said to the king.
