14Right at that time, Jeroboam's son Abijah became ill,H6256H29H1121H3379H2470 2so Jeroboam suggested to his wife, "Get up, disguise yourself so that no one will know that you're Jeroboam's wife, and go to Shiloh where the prophet Ahijah lives. He's the one who told me that I would be king over this people.H3379H559H802H6965H8138H3045H802H3379H1980H7887H281H5030H1696H4428H5971 3Take ten loaves with you, some cakes, and a jar of honey and go visit him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy."H3947H3027H6235H3899H5350H1228H1706H935H5046H5288 4So that's what Jeroboam's wife did. She got up, went to Shiloh, and found Ahijah's home. Ahijah was blind, because his eyes could not focus due to his age.H3379H802H6213H6965H3212H7887H935H1004H281H281H3201H7200H5869H6965H7869 5Meanwhile, the Lord had spoken to Ahijah, "Be on your guard! Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he is ill. You're to say such and such to her. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else!"H3068H559H281H802H3379H935H1875H1697H1121H2470H2090H1696H935H5234 6Whe she arrived, Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came through the doorway. He said this to her: "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. What is this pretension at being someone else?I have some harsh news.H281H8085H6963H7272H935H6607H559H935H802H3379H5234H7971H7186 7Go tell Jeroboam: 'I raised you up from among the people. 'I made you commander-in-chief over my people Israel.H3212H559H3379H559H3068H430H3478H3282H7311H8432H5971H5414H5057H5971H3478 8'I tore the kingdom away from David's dynasty. 'Then I gave it to you. But you have not lived like my servant David, who kept my commands with all his heart, and did only what I considered to be right.H7167H4467H7167H1004H1732H5414H5650H1732H8104H4687H1980H310H3824H6213H3477H5869 9'Instead, you have done more evil than everyone who lived before you. 'You have gone out and crafted other gods for yourself. 'You made cast images. 'You have provoked me to anger. 'You have thrown me behind your back.H6213H7489H6440H3212H6213H312H430H4541H3707H7993H310H1458 10'Therefore, watch while I bring calamity on Jeroboam's dynasty! 'I will eliminate every male, both slave and free in Israel, from Jeroboam. 'I will burn up Jeroboam's dynasty, as a man burns up manure until it is gone.H935H7451H1004H3379H3772H3379H8366H7023H6113H5800H3478H1197H310H1004H3379H1197H1557H8552 11Dogs will eat anyone who dies in the city that belongs to Jeroboam's household. The birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the open field, because the Lord has determined it.'H4191H3379H5892H3611H398H4191H7704H5775H8064H398H3068H1696 12"Now get up and go home. When your feet cross the city line, your child will die.H6965H3212H1004H7272H935H5892H3206H4191 13Everyone in Israel will mourn for him and will bury him, because he alone from Jeroboam's family will receive a decent burial, because something good was observed in him with respect to the Lord God of Israel out of all the household of Jeroboam!H3478H5594H6912H3379H935H6913H4672H2896H1697H3068H430H3478H1004H3379 14"In addition to this, the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will eliminate Jeroboam's dynasty, starting today and from now on.H3068H6965H4428H3478H3772H1004H3379H3117 15The Lord will attack Israel, and Israel will shake like a reed shakes in a river current! He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and he will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they erected their Asherim and provoked the Lord to become angry!H3068H5221H3478H7070H5110H4325H5428H3478H2896H127H5414H1H2219H5676H5104H6213H842H3068H3707 16He will give up Israel because of Jeroboam's sins that he committed and by which Jeroboam caused Israel to sin."H5414H3478H5414H1558H2403H3379H2398H3478H2398 17Then Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she set foot over the threshold of the house, the child died.H3379H802H6965H3212H935H8656H935H5592H1004H5288H4191 18All of Israel mourned him at his burial, just as the Lord had said when he spoke through Ahijah the prophet.H6912H3478H5594H1697H3068H1696H3027H5650H281H5030 19Now as for the rest of Jeroboam's accomplishments, including how he waged war and how he reigned, you may read about them in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.H3499H1697H3379H3898H4427H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3478 20Jeroboam reigned for 22 years and then died, as had his ancestors, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.H3117H3379H4427H8147H6242H8141H7901H1H5070H1121H4427 21Meanwhile, Solomon's son Rehoboam reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city where the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to place his Name. His mother was an Ammonite named Naamah.H7346H1121H8010H4427H3063H7346H705H259H8141H1121H4427H4427H7651H6240H8141H3389H5892H3068H977H7626H3478H7760H8034H517H8034H5279H5985 22Judah practiced what the Lord considered to be evil. They did more to provoke him to jealousy than their ancestors had ever done by committing the sins that they committed.H3063H6213H7451H5869H3068H7065H2403H2398H1H6213 23They erected high places, sacred pillars, and Asherim for themselves on every high hill and under every green tree.H1129H1116H4676H842H1364H1389H7488H6086 24They even maintained male shrine prostitutes throughout the land, and imitated every detestable practice that the nations practiced whom the Lord had expelled in front of the Israelites.1421H6945H776H6213H8441H1471H3068H3423H6440H1121H3478 25As a result, during the fifth year of the reign of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt invaded and attacked Jerusalem.H2549H8141H4428H7346H7895H4428H4714H5927H3389 26He stripped the Lord's temple and the royal palace of their treasures. He took everything, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.H3947H214H1004H3068H214H4428H1004H3947H3947H4043H2091H8010H6213 27King Rehoboam made shields out of bronze to take their place, and then committed them to the care and custody of the commanders of those who guarded the entrance to the royal palace.H4428H7346H6213H5178H4043H6485H3027H8269H7323H8104H6607H4428H1004 28Whenever the king entered the Lord's temple, the guards would carry them to and from the guard's quarters.H1767H4428H935H1004H3068H7323H5375H7725H7323H8372 29As to the rest of Rehoboam's accomplishments, and everything else that he undertook, they are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, aren't they?H3499H1697H7346H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063 30There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam,H4421H7346H3379H3117 31but eventually Rehoboam died, as had his ancestors, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His mother's name had been Naamah the Ammonite, and his son Abijam became king to replace him.H7346H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H517H8034H5279H5985H38H1121H4427
