14At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam fell sick.H6256H29H1121H3379H2470 2Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so that it will not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; for the prophet Ahijah is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people.H3379H559H802H6965H8138H3045H802H3379H1980H7887H281H5030H1696H4428H5971 3Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child."H3947H3027H6235H3899H5350H1228H1706H935H5046H5288 4Jeroboam's wife did so; she set out 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.H3379H802H6213H6965H3212H7887H935H1004H281H281H3201H7200H5869H6965H7869 5But the LORD said to Ahijah, "The wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her." When she came, she pretended to be another woman.H3068H559H281H802H3379H935H1875H1697H1121H2470H2090H1696H935H5234 6But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with heavy tidings for you.H281H8085H6963H7272H935H6607H559H935H802H3379H5234H7971H7186 7Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Because I exalted you from among the people, made you leader over my people Israel,H3212H559H3379H559H3068H430H3478H3282H7311H8432H5971H5414H5057H5971H3478 8and tore the kingdom away from the house of David to give it to you; yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my sight,H7167H4467H7167H1004H1732H5414H5650H1732H8104H4687H1980H310H3824H6213H3477H5869 9but you have done evil above all those who were before you and have gone and made for yourself other gods, and cast images, provoking me to anger, and have thrust me behind your back;H6213H7489H6440H3212H6213H312H430H4541H3707H7993H310H1458 10therefore, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both bond and free in Israel, and will consume the house of Jeroboam, just as one burns up dung until it is all gone.H935H7451H1004H3379H3772H3379H8366H7023H6113H5800H3478H1197H310H1004H3379H1197H1557H8552 11Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the open country, the birds of the air shall eat; for the LORD has spoken.'H4191H3379H5892H3611H398H4191H7704H5775H8064H398H3068H1696 12Therefore set out, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.H6965H3212H1004H7272H935H5892H3206H4191 13All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him; for he alone of Jeroboam's family shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.H3478H5594H6912H3379H935H6913H4672H2896H1697H3068H430H3478H1004H3379 14Moreover the LORD will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today, even right now!H3068H6965H4428H3478H3772H1004H3379H3117 15"The LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors, and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their sacred poles, provoking the LORD to anger.H3068H5221H3478H7070H5110H4325H5428H3478H2896H127H5414H1H2219H5676H5104H6213H842H3068H3707 16He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and which he caused Israel to commit."H5414H3478H5414H1558H2403H3379H2398H3478H2398 17Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away, and she came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.H3379H802H6965H3212H935H8656H935H5592H1004H5288H4191 18All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant the prophet Ahijah.H6912H3478H5594H1697H3068H1696H3027H5650H281H5030 19Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred and how he reigned, are written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel.H3499H1697H3379H3898H4427H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3478 20The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; then he slept with his ancestors, and his son Nadab succeeded him.H3117H3379H4427H8147H6242H8141H7901H1H5070H1121H4427 21Now Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite.H7346H1121H8010H4427H3063H7346H705H259H8141H1121H4427H4427H7651H6240H8141H3389H5892H3068H977H7626H3478H7760H8034H517H8034H5279H5985 22Judah did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; they provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their ancestors had done.H3063H6213H7451H5869H3068H7065H2403H2398H1H6213 23For they also built for themselves high places, pillars, and sacred poles on every high hill and under every green tree;H1129H1116H4676H842H1364H1389H7488H6086 24there were also male temple prostitutes in the land. They committed all the abominations of the nations that the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.H6945H776H6213H8441H1471H3068H3423H6440H1121H3478 25In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;H2549H8141H4428H7346H7895H4428H4714H5927H3389 26he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took everything. He also took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made;H3947H214H1004H3068H214H4428H1004H3947H3947H4043H2091H8010H6213 27so King Rehoboam made shields of bronze instead, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.H4428H7346H6213H5178H4043H6485H3027H8269H7323H8104H6607H4428H1004 28As often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom.H1767H4428H935H1004H3068H7323H5375H7725H7323H8372 29Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?H3499H1697H7346H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063 30There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.H4421H7346H3379H3117 31Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him.H7346H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H517H8034H5279H5985H38H1121H4427
