14:1 At
that
time
Abijah
the
son
of
Jeroboam
fell
sick.
14:2 And
Jeroboam
said
to
his
wife,
"Arise,
and
disguise
yourself,
that
it
not
be
known
that
you
are
the
wife
of
Jeroboam,
and
go
to
Shiloh.
Behold,
Ahijah
the
prophet
is
there,
who
said
of
me
that
I
should
be
king
over
this
people.
14:3 Take
with
you
ten
loaves,
some
cakes,
and
a
jar
of
honey,
and
go
to
him.
He
will
tell
you
what
shall
happen
to
the
child."
14:4 Jeroboam's
wife
did
so.
She
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.
14:5 And
the
LORD
said
to
Ahijah,
"Behold,
the
wife
of
Jeroboam
is
coming
to
inquire
of
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.
14:6 But
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
unbearable
news
for
you.
14:7 Go,
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
Israel
14:8 and
tore
the
kingdom
away
from
the
house
of
David
and
gave
it
to
you,
and
yet
you
have
not
been
like
my
servant
David,
who
kept
my
commandments
and
followed
me
with
all
his
heart,
doing
only
that
which
was
right
in
my
eyes,
14:9 but
you
have
done
evil
above
all
who
were
before
you
and
have
gone
and
made
for
yourself
other
gods
and
metal
images,
provoking
me
to
anger,
and
have
cast
me
behind
your
back,
14:10 therefore
behold,
I
will
bring
harm
upon
the
house
of
Jeroboam
and
will
cut
off
from
Jeroboam
every
male,
both
bond
and
free
in
Israel,
and
will
burn
up
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
as
a
man
burns
up
dung
until
it
is
all
gone.
14:11 Anyone
belonging
to
Jeroboam
who
dies
in
the
city
the
dogs
shall
eat,
and
anyone
who
dies
in
the
open
country
the
birds
of
the
heavens
shall
eat,
for
the
LORD
has
spoken
it."'
14:12 Arise
therefore,
go
to
your
house.
When
your
feet
enter
the
city,
the
child
shall
die.
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
something
pleasing
to
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
in
the
house
of
Jeroboam.
14:14 Moreover,
the
LORD
will
raise
up
for
himself
a
king
over
Israel
who
shall
cut
off
the
house
of
Jeroboam
today.
And
henceforth,
14:15 the
LORD
will
strike
Israel
as
a
reed
is
shaken
in
the
water,
and
root
up
Israel
out
of
this
good
land
that
he
gave
to
their
fathers
and
scatter
them
beyond
the
Euphrates,
because
they
have
made
their
Asherim,
provoking
the
LORD
to
anger.
14:16 And
he
will
give
Israel
up
because
of
the
sins
of
Jeroboam,
which
he
sinned
and
made
Israel
to
sin."
14:17 Then
Jeroboam's
wife
arose
and
departed
and
came
to
Tirzah.
And
as
she
came
to
the
threshold
of
the
house,
the
child
died.
14:18 And
all
Israel
buried
him
and
mourned
for
him,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
which
he
spoke
by
his
servant
Ahijah
the
prophet.
14:19 Now
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.
14:20 And
the
time
that
Jeroboam
reigned
was
twenty-two
years.
And
he
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
Nadab
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
14:21 Now
Rehoboam
the
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
that
the
LORD
had
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
put
his
name
there.
His
mother's
name
was
Naamah
the
Ammonite.
14:22 And
Judah
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
and
they
provoked
him
to
jealousy
with
their
sins
that
they
committed,
more
than
all
that
their
fathers
had
done.
14:23 For
they
also
built
for
themselves
high
places
and
pillars
and
Asherim
on
every
high
hill
and
under
every
green
tree,
14:24 and
there
were
also
male
cult
prostitutes
in
the
land.
They
did
according
to
all
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that
the
LORD
drove
out
before
the
people
of
Israel.
14:25 In
the
fifth
year
of
King
Rehoboam,
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem.
14:26 He
took
away
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
the
treasures
of
the
king's
house.
He
took
away
everything.
He
also
took
away
all
the
shields
of
gold
that
Solomon
had
made,
14:27 and
King
Rehoboam
made
in
their
place
shields
of
bronze,
and
committed
them
to
the
hands
of
the
officers
of
the
guard,
who
kept
the
door
of
the
king's
house.
14:28 And
as
often
as
the
king
went
into
the
house
of
the
LORD,
the
guard
carried
them
and
brought
them
back
to
the
guardroom.
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
14:30 And
there
was
war
between
Rehoboam
and
Jeroboam
continually.
14:31 And
Rehoboam
slept
with
his
fathers
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David.
His
mother's
name
was
Naamah
the
Ammonite.
And
Abijam
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
