KJV - 1 Kings 13:4

And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

When King Jeroboam heard the man of God speak against the altar in Bethel, he reached out to grab him. But as he tried to pull his hand back, it dried up and wouldn't move.
