his hand
1 Kings 13:4
13:4 his hand. Except for the occasions when God spoke to men and when the shekinah glory filled the temple, this is the first recorded miracle in the Bible since the days of Samuel. There are several, however, in this chapter (I Kings 13:4-6,28), and these mark the beginning of many miracles (especially through Elijah and Elisha) that were sent by God during the days of the divided kingdom and the growing apostasy of Israel and Judah.
