1Kings:14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick .
*
And Jeroboam said to his wife ,
Arise ,
I pray thee ,
and disguise thyself ,
that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam Yarob #
am #;
and get thee to Shiloh :
behold ,
there is Ahijah the prophet ,
which told me that I should be king over this people .
*
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 na #
ar #.
*
And Jeroboams 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 .
*
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 .
*
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 Yarob #
am #;
why feignest thou thyself to be another ?
for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings .
*
Go ,
tell Jeroboam Yarob #
am #,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people ,
and made thee prince over my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
*
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 ;
*
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 :
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam Yarob #
am #,
and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall ,
and him that is shut up and left in Israel Yisra #
el #,
and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam Yarob #
am #,
as a man taketh away dung ,
till it be all gone .
*
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 .
*
Arise thou therefore ,
get thee to thine own house :
and when thy feet enter into the city ,
the child shall die .
*
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 Yarob #
am #.
*
Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel Yisra #
el #,
who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day :
but what ?
even now .
*
For the LORD shall smite Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 .
*
And he shall give #
Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam Yarob #
am #,
who did sin ,
and who made Israel to sin .
*
And Jeroboams wife arose ,
and departed ,
and came to Tirzah :
and when she came to the threshold of the door ,
the child died ;
*
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 .
*
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam Yarob #
am #,
how he warred ,
and how he reigned ,
behold ,
they are written in the book of the chronicles dabar #
of the kings of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
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 .
*
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah .
Rehoboam was forty #
arba #
iym #
and one years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned seventeen sheba #
years in Jerusalem ,
the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
to put his name there .
And his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonitess .
*
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 .
*
For they also built them high places ,
and images ,
and groves ,
on every high hill gib #
ah #,
and under every green tree .
*
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 Yisra #
el #.
*
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam R @
chab #
am #,
that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem :
*
And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD ,
and the treasures of the kings house ;
he even took away all :
and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made .
*
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields ,
and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard ,
which kept the door of the kings house .
*
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 .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam R @
chab #
am #,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar #
of the kings of Judah ?
*
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days .
*
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers ,
and was buried with his fathers in the city of David .
And his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonitess .
And Abijam his son reigned in his stead .
