Definitions for 1-kings 13:5
Clarke's 1-kings 13:5 Bible Commentary
The altar was also rent - It split or clave of its own accord; and, as the split parts would decline at the top from the line of their perpendicular, so the ashes and coals would fall off, or be poured out.
Barnes's 1-kings 13:5 Bible Commentary
We need not suppose a complete shattering of the altar, but rather the appearance of a crack or fissure in the fabric, which, extending from top to bottom, caused the embers and the fragments of the victims to fall until they reached the ground.
