1
At that time
Abijah
the son
of Jeroboam
became sick.
2
Jeroboam
said
to his wife,
"Arise
now,
and disguise
yourself so that they will 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.
3
"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."
4
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.
5
Now 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."
6
When Ahijah
heard
the sound
of her feet
coming
in the doorway,
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.
7
"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,
8
and 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;
9
you 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--
10
therefore
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.
11
"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."'
12
"Now you, arise,
go
to your house.
When your feet
enter
the city
the child
will die.
13
"All
Israel
shall mourn
for him and bury
him, for he alone
of Jeroboam's
family will come
to the grave,
because
in him something
good
was found
toward
the LORD
God
of
Israel
in the house
of Jeroboam.
14
"Moreover, the LORD
will raise
up for Himself a king
over
Israel
who
will cut off
the house
of Jeroboam
this
day
and from now
on.
15
"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.
16
"He will give
up Israel
on account
of the sins
of Jeroboam,
which
he committed
and with
which
he made Israel
to sin."
17
Then Jeroboam's
wife
arose
and departed
and came
to Tirzah.
As she was entering
the threshold
of the house,
the child
died.
18
All
Israel
buried
him and mourned
for him, according to the word
of the LORD
which
He spoke
through
His servant
Ahijah
the prophet.
19
Now 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.
20
The time
that Jeroboam
reigned
was twenty-two
years;
and he slept
with his fathers,
and Nadab
his son
reigned
in his place.
21
Now
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.
22
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.
23
For they also
built
for themselves
high
places
and sacred pillars
and Asherim
on
every
high
hill
and beneath
every
luxuriant
tree.
24
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.
25
Now it happened
in the fifth
year
of King
Rehoboam,
that Shishak
the king
of Egypt
came
up against
Jerusalem.
26
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.
27
So 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.
28
Then 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.
29
Now 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?
30
There was war
between
Rehoboam
and Jeroboam
continually.
31
And 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.
