14At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.H6256H29H1121H3379H24702And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they may not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me [that I would be] king over this people.H3379H559H802H6965H8138H3045H802H3379H1980H7887H281H5030H1696H4428H59713"And take ten loaves with you, [some] cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy."H3947H3027H6235H3899H5350H1228H1706H935H5046H52884And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.H3379H802H6213H6965H3212H7887H935H1004H281H281H3201H7200H5869H6965H78695Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman."H3068H559H281H802H3379H935H1875H1697H1121H2470H2090H1696H935H52346And it came about when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, that he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you [with] a harsh [message.]H281H8085H6963H7272H935H6607H559H935H802H3379H5234H7971H71867"Go, say to Jeroboam, 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel," Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over My people Israel,H3212H559H3379H559H3068H430H3478H3282H7311H8432H5971H5414H5057H5971H34788and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you— yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only that which was right in My sight;H7167H4467H7167H1004H1732H5414H5650H1732H8104H4687H1980H310H3824H6213H3477H58699you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back—H6213H7489H6440H3212H6213H312H430H4541H3707H7993H310H145810therefore behold, I am bringing calamity on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male person, both bond and free in Israel, and I will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone.H935H7451H1004H3379H3772H3379H8366H7023H6113H5800H3478H1197H310H1004H3379H1197H1557H855211"Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs will eat. And he who dies in the field the birds of the heavens will eat; for the LORD has spoken [it.]" 'H4191H3379H5892H3611H398H4191H7704H5775H8064H398H3068H169612"Now you arise, go to your house. When your feet enter the city the child will die.H6965H3212H1004H7272H935H5892H3206H419113"And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's [family] shall come to the grave, because in him something good was found toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.H3478H5594H6912H3379H935H6913H4672H2896H1697H3068H430H3478H1004H337914"Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.H3068H6965H4428H3478H3772H1004H3379H311715"For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will uproot Israel from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger.H3068H5221H3478H7070H5110H4325H5428H3478H2896H127H5414H1H2219H5676H5104H6213H842H3068H370716"And He will give up Israel on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he committed and with which he made Israel to sin."H5414H3478H5414H1558H2403H3379H2398H3478H239817Then Jeroboam's wife arose and departed and came to Tirzah. As she was entering the threshold of the house, the child died.H3379H802H6965H3212H935H8656H935H5592H1004H5288H419118And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.H6912H3478H5594H1697H3068H1696H3027H5650H281H503019Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.H3499H1697H3379H3898H4427H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H347820And the time that Jeroboam reigned [was] twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.H3117H3379H4427H8147H6242H8141H7901H1H5070H1121H442721Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.H7346H1121H8010H4427H3063H7346H705H259H8141H1121H4427H4427H7651H6240H8141H3389H5892H3068H977H7626H3478H7760H8034H517H8034H5279H598522And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done, with the sins which they committed.H3063H6213H7451H5869H3068H7065H2403H2398H1H621323For they also built for themselves high places and [sacred] pillars and Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree.H1129H1116H4676H842H1364H1389H7488H608624And there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.H6945H776H6213H8441H1471H3068H3423H6440H1121H347825Now it came about in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.H2549H8141H4428H7346H7895H4428H4714H5927H338926And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house, and he took everything, even taking all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.H3947H214H1004H3068H214H4428H1004H3947H3947H4043H2091H8010H621327So King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the care of the commanders of the guard who guarded the doorway of the king's house.H4428H7346H6213H5178H4043H6485H3027H8269H7323H8104H6607H4428H100428Then it happened as often as the king entered the house of the LORD, that the guards would carry them and would bring them back into the guards' room.H1767H4428H935H1004H3068H7323H5375H7725H7323H837229Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?H3499H1697H7346H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H306330And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.H4421H7346H3379H311731And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son became king in his place.H7346H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H517H8034H5279H5985H38H1121H4427
