1KI-14:1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
1KI-14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and
disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of
Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the
prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over this people.
1KI-14:3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a
cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall
become of the child.
1KI-14:4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to
Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not
see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
1KI-14:5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of
Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is]
sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be,
when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself [to be] another
[woman].
1KI-14:6 And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her
feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou
wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another? for
I [am] sent to thee [with] heavy [tidings].
1KI-14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee
prince over my people Israel,
1KI-14:8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and
gave it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant David,
who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart,
to do [that] only [which was] right in mine eyes;
1KI-14:9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for
thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to
provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
1KI-14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth
against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel,
and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a
man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
1KI-14:11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs
eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air
eat: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
1KI-14:12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house:
[and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
1KI-14:13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for
he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him
there is found [some] good thing toward the LORD God of Israel
in the house of Jeroboam.
1KI-14:14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over
Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but
what? even now.
1KI-14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken
in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land,
which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond
the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the
LORD to anger.
1KI-14:16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of
Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
1KI-14:17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to
Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the
child died;
1KI-14:18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of
his servant Ahijah the prophet.
1KI-14:19 And the 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.
1KI-14:20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and
twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son
reigned in his stead.
1KI-14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.
Rehoboam [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the
LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name
there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
1KI-14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they
provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had
committed, above all that their fathers had done.
1KI-14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and
groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
1KI-14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they
did according to all the abominations of the nations which the
LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
1KI-14:25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam,
[that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
1KI-14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the
LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away
all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had
made.
1KI-14:27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields,
and committed [them] unto the hands of the chief of the guard,
which kept the door of the king's house.
1KI-14:28 And it was [so], when the king went into the house of
the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into
the guard chamber.
1KI-14:29 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?
1KI-14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all
[their] days.
1KI-14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried
with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name
[was] Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his
stead.
