mkjv@1Kings:14:1 @ At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

mkjv@1Kings:14:2 @ And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, please, and disguise yourself so that you will not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh. Behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, who told me about [being] king over this people.

mkjv@1Kings:14:3 @ And take ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey with you, and go to him. And he will tell you what shall become of the boy.

mkjv@1Kings:14:4 @ And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh. And she came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set because of his age.

mkjv@1Kings:14:5 @ And the LORD said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to ask a thing of you for her son, for he [is] sick. This and this you shall say to her, for when she comes in, she shall act as a stranger.

mkjv@1Kings:14:6 @ And it happened when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you acting as a stranger? For I [am] sent to you [with] a hard thing.

mkjv@1Kings:14:7 @ Go tell Jeroboam, So says the LORD God of Israel, I lifted you up from among the people, and made you ruler over My people Israel,

mkjv@1Kings:14:8 @ and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. And you have not been as My servant David who kept My commandments, and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only [what was] right in My eyes.

mkjv@1Kings:14:9 @ But you have done evil above all who were before you, for you have gone and made yourself other gods, and molded images, to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back;

mkjv@1Kings:14:10 @ therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates against the wall, bound and free in Israel, and will sweep away the rest of the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away the dung, until it is all gone.

mkjv@1Kings:14:11 @ Those of Jeroboam who die in the city, the dogs shall eat. And those who die in the field, the fowls of the air shall eat. For the LORD has spoken.

mkjv@1Kings:14:12 @ And arise, get down to your own house. When your feet enter into the city, the boy shall die.

mkjv@1Kings:14:13 @ And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him. For he only of Jeroboam shall come down to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

mkjv@1Kings:14:14 @ And the LORD shall raise up a king over Israel for Himself, a king who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. And what? Even now!

mkjv@1Kings:14:15 @ For the LORD shall strike Israel as the reed waves 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 Asherahs, provoking the LORD to anger.

mkjv@1Kings:14:16 @ And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned, and that he made Israel to sin.

mkjv@1Kings:14:17 @ And Jeroboam's wife arose, and left, and came to Tirzah. When she came to the doorsill the boy died.

mkjv@1Kings:14:18 @ And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.

mkjv@1Kings: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 Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel.

Rehoboam [was] forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah, an Ammonitess.

mkjv@1Kings: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.

mkjv@1Kings:14:23 @ For they also built high places for themselves, and images, and Asherahs, on every high hill and under every green tree.

mkjv@1Kings:14:24 @ And also the sodomite was in the land. They did according to all the hateful things of the nations which the LORD cast out before the sons of Israel.

mkjv@1Kings:14:25 @ And it happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt, he came up against Jerusalem.

mkjv@1Kings:14:26 @ And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took all away. And he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

mkjv@1Kings:15:3 @ And he walked in all the sins of his father which he had done before him. And his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

mkjv@1Kings:15:4 @ But for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,

mkjv@1Kings:15:5 @ because David did [what was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

mkjv@1Kings:15:10 @ And he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. And his grandmother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

mkjv@1Kings:15:11 @ And Asa did [what was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as David his father did.

mkjv@1Kings:15:12 @ And [he] took away the sodomites out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

mkjv@1Kings:15:13 @ And also he even removed his mother Maachah from [being] queen because she had made an idol in a grove. And Asa destroyed her idol and burned it by the torrent Kidron.

mkjv@1Kings:15:19 @ [There is] a treaty between you and me, between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he may depart from me.

mkjv@1Kings:15:23 @ The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
