'Split' in the Bible

All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth split open from the sound.

Later that same day, he gave them a special display of power of what was to come when he said, "Here's proof that the LORD has decreed this: Look! This altar will be split apart and the ashes that are on it will spill out."

The altar also was split apart and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

At that time the people of Israel were divided: half the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
