14THEN ABIJAH [the little] son of Jeroboam became sick.H6256H29H1121H3379H2470 2And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray you, and disguise yourself, that you may not be recognized as Jeroboam's wife, and go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that I should be king over this people.H3379H559H802H6965H8138H3045H802H3379H1980H7887H281H5030H1696H4428H5971 3Take ten loaves, some cakes, and a bottle of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what shall happen to the child.H3947H3027H6235H3899H5350H1228H1706H935H5046H5288 4Jeroboam's wife did so. She arose and went [twenty miles] to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.H3379H802H6213H6965H3212H7887H935H1004H281H281H3201H7200H5869H6965H7869 5And the Lord said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you concerning her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus shall you 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 news for you.H281H8085H6963H7272H935H6607H559H935H802H3379H5234H7971H7186 7Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over My people IsraelH3212H559H3379H559H3068H430H3478H3282H7311H8432H5971H5414H5057H5971H3478 8And rent the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you--and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes,H7167H4467H7167H1004H1732H5414H5650H1732H8104H4687H1980H310H3824H6213H3477H5869 9But have done evil above all who were before you; for you have made yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke Me to anger and have cast Me behind your back--H6213H7489H6440H3212H6213H312H430H4541H3707H7993H310H1458 10Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam and will cut off from [him] every male, both bond and free, in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam as a man sweeps away dung, till it is all gone.H935H7451H1004H3379H3772H3379H8366H7023H6113H5800H3478H1197H310H1004H3379H1197H1557H8552 11Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and any who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat. For the Lord has spoken it.H4191H3379H5892H3611H398H4191H7704H5775H8064H398H3068H1696 12Arise therefore [Ano, Jeroboam's wife], get to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.H6965H3212H1004H7272H935H5892H3206H4191 13And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam's family shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good {and} 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 this day. From now onH3068H6965H4428H3478H3772H1004H3379H3117 15The Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will root up Israel out of this good land which He gave to their fathers and will scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River, because they have made their Asherim [idolatrous symbols of the goddess Asherah], provoking the Lord to anger.H3068H5221H3478H7070H5110H4325H5428H3478H2896H127H5414H1H2219H5676H5104H6213H842H3068H3707 16He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam which he has sinned and made Israel to sin.H5414H3478H5414H1558H2403H3379H2398H3478H2398 17So Jeroboam's wife departed and came to Tirzah. When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.H3379H802H6965H3212H935H8656H935H5592H1004H5288H4191 18And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord spoken by His servant Ahijah the prophet.H6912H3478H5594H1697H3068H1696H3027H5650H281H5030 19The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.H3499H1697H3379H3898H4427H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3478 20Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and he slept with his fathers; and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.H3117H3379H4427H8147H6242H8141H7901H1H5070H1121H4427 21And 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 the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put His Name [and the pledge of His presence] there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.H7346H1121H8010H4427H3063H7346H705H259H8141H1121H4427H4427H7651H6240H8141H3389H5892H3068H977H7626H3478H7760H8034H517H8034H5279H5985 22And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, Whom they provoked to jealousy with the sins they committed, above all that their fathers had done.H3063H6213H7451H5869H3068H7065H2403H2398H1H6213 23For they also built themselves [idolatrous] high places, pillars, and Asherim [idolatrous symbols of the goddess Asherah] on every high hill and under every green tree.H1129H1116H4676H842H1364H1389H7488H6086 24There were also sodomites (male cult prostitutes) in the land. They did all the abominations of the nations whom the Lord cast out before the Israelites.H6945H776H6213H8441H1471H3068H3423H6440H1121H3478 25In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt [Jeroboam's brother-in-law] came up against Jerusalem.H2549H8141H4428H7346H7895H4428H4714H5927H3389 26He took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the king's house; he took away all, including all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.H3947H214H1004H3068H214H4428H1004H3947H3947H4043H2091H8010H6213 27King Rehoboam made in their stead bronze shields and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard who kept the door of the king's house.H4428H7346H6213H5178H4043H6485H3027H8269H7323H8104H6607H4428H1004 28And as often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards bore them and brought them back into the guardroom.H1767H4428H935H1004H3068H7323H5375H7725H7323H8372 29The 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?H3499H1697H7346H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063 30There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.H4421H7346H3379H3117 31Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam (Abijah) his son reigned in his stead.H7346H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H517H8034H5279H5985H38H1121H4427
