A prophet came from Judah to rebuke Jeroboam for his rampant paganism and he confirmed his message by the altar being split apart. Jeroboam reacted against the prophet and suffered a withered arm for which he depended on God's healing. He then invited the prophet to have a meal at his house, but the prophet declined as God had prohibited this. Then an old prophet met with the prophet from Judah and tricked him by lying to eat with him saying that an angel had suggested this. Hence the prophet from Judah ended up disobeying God's command by default and ended up being killed by a lion as a result and the old prophet buried him. After all this Jeroboam did not change his evil ways but continued unabated in his sinful paganism.
