1 Kings 14 (WEBP)

[1] At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
[2] Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people.
[3] Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”
[4] Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
[5] Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”
[6] So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
[7] Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
[8] and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it you; and yet you have 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 my eyes,
[9] but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back,
[10] therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall,§ he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone.
[11] The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for Yahweh has spoken it.” ’
[12] Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will die.
[13] All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
[14] Moreover Yahweh will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Even now.
[15] For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River,° because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking Yahweh to anger.
[16] He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”
[17] Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
[18] All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
[19] The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
[20] The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
[21] 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 which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
[22] Judah did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
[23] For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
[24] There were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.
[25] In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
[26] and he took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields which Solomon had made.
[27] King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
[28] It was so, that as often as the king went into Yahweh’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
[29] Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[30] There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
[31] Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

1 Kings 14 (KJVS)

[1] At that time H6256 Abijah H29 the son H1121 of Jeroboam H3379 fell sick H2470 (8804).
[2] And Jeroboam H3379 said H559 (8799) to his wife H802, Arise H6965 (8798), I pray thee, and disguise H8138 (8690) thyself, that thou be not known H3045 (8799) to be the wife H802 of Jeroboam H3379; and get H1980 (8804) thee to Shiloh H7887: behold, there [is] Ahijah H281 the prophet H5030, which told H1696 (8765) me that [I should be] king H4428 over this people H5971.
[3] And take H3947 (8804) with thee H3027 ten H6235 loaves H3899, and cracknels H5350, and a cruse H1228 of honey H1706, and go H935 (8804) to him: he shall tell H5046 (8686) thee what shall become of the child H5288.
[4] And Jeroboam’s H3379 wife H802 did so H6213 (8799), and arose H6965 (8799), and went H3212 (8799) to Shiloh H7887, and came H935 (8799) to the house H1004 of Ahijah H281. But Ahijah H281 could H3201 (8804) not see H7200 (8800); for his eyes H5869 were set H6965 (8804) by reason of his age H7869.
[5] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8804) unto Ahijah H281, Behold, the wife H802 of Jeroboam H3379 cometh H935 (8802) to ask H1875 (8800) a thing H1697 of thee for her son H1121; for he [is] sick H2470 (8802): thus H2090 and thus shalt thou say H1696 (8762) unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in H935 (8800), that she shall feign herself [to be] another H5234 (8693) [woman].
[6] And it was [so], when Ahijah H281 heard H8085 (8800) the sound H6963 of her feet H7272, as she came in H935 (8802) at the door H6607, that he said H559 (8799), Come in H935 (8798), thou wife H802 of Jeroboam H3379; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another H5234 (8693)? for I [am] sent H7971 (8803) to thee [with] heavy H7186 [tidings].
[7] Go H3212 (8798), tell H559 (8798) Jeroboam H3379, Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478, Forasmuch as H3282 I exalted H7311 (8689) thee from among H8432 the people H5971, and made H5414 (8799) thee prince H5057 over my people H5971 Israel H3478,
[8] And rent H7167 the kingdom H4467 away H7167 (8799) from the house H1004 of David H1732, and gave H5414 (8799) it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant H5650 David H1732, who kept H8104 (8804) my commandments H4687, and who followed H1980 (8804) H310 me with all his heart H3824, to do H6213 (8800) [that] only [which was] right H3477 in mine eyes H5869;
[9] But hast done H6213 (8800) evil H7489 (8686) above all that were before H6440 thee: for thou hast gone H3212 (8799) and made H6213 (8799) thee other H312 gods H430, and molten images H4541, to provoke me to anger H3707 (8687), and hast cast H7993 (8689) me behind H310 thy back H1458:
[10] Therefore, behold, I will bring H935 (8688) evil H7451 upon the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379, and will cut off H3772 (8689) from Jeroboam H3379 him that pisseth H8366 (8688) against the wall H7023, [and] him that is shut up H6113 (8803) and left H5800 (8803) in Israel H3478, and will take away H1197 (8765) the remnant H310 of the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379, as a man taketh away H1197 (8762) dung H1557, till it be all gone H8552 (8800).
[11] Him that dieth H4191 (8801) of Jeroboam H3379 in the city H5892 shall the dogs H3611 eat H398 (8799); and him that dieth H4191 (8801) in the field H7704 shall the fowls H5775 of the air H8064 eat H398 (8799): for the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 (8765) [it].
[12] Arise H6965 (8798) thou therefore, get H3212 (8798) thee to thine own house H1004: [and] when thy feet H7272 enter H935 (8800) into the city H5892, the child H3206 shall die H4191 (8804).
[13] And all Israel H3478 shall mourn H5594 (8804) for him, and bury H6912 (8804) him: for he only of Jeroboam H3379 shall come H935 (8799) to the grave H6913, because in him there is found H4672 (8738) [some] good H2896 thing H1697 toward the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 in the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379.
[14] Moreover the LORD H3068 shall raise him up H6965 (8689) a king H4428 over Israel H3478, who shall cut off H3772 (8686) the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 that day H3117: but what? even now.
[15] For the LORD H3068 shall smite H5221 (8689) Israel H3478, as a reed H7070 is shaken H5110 (8799) in the water H4325, and he shall root up H5428 (8804) Israel H3478 out of this good H2896 land H127, which he gave H5414 (8804) to their fathers H1, and shall scatter H2219 (8765) them beyond H5676 the river H5104, because they have made H6213 (8804) their groves H842, provoking the LORD H3068 to anger H3707 (8688).
[16] And he shall give H5414 Israel H3478 up H5414 (8799) because H1558 of the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379, who did sin H2398 (8804), and who made Israel H3478 to sin H2398 (8689).
[17] And Jeroboam’s H3379 wife H802 arose H6965 (8799), and departed H3212 (8799), and came H935 (8799) to Tirzah H8656: [and] when she came H935 (8802) to the threshold H5592 of the door H1004, the child H5288 died H4191 (8804);
[18] And they buried H6912 (8799) him; and all Israel H3478 mourned H5594 (8799) for him, according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068, which he spake H1696 (8765) by the hand H3027 of his servant H5650 Ahijah H281 the prophet H5030.
[19] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jeroboam H3379, how he warred H3898 (8738), and how he reigned H4427 (8804), behold, they [are] written H3789 (8803) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478.
[20] And the days H3117 which Jeroboam H3379 reigned H4427 (8804) [were] two H8147 and twenty H6242 years H8141: and he slept H7901 (8799) with his fathers H1, and Nadab H5070 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (8799) in his stead.
[21] And Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 reigned H4427 (8804) in Judah H3063. Rehoboam H7346 [was] forty H705 and one H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which the LORD H3068 did choose H977 (8804) out of all the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478, to put H7760 (8800) his name H8034 there. And his mother’s H517 name H8034 [was] Naamah H5279 an Ammonitess H5985.
[22] And Judah H3063 did H6213 (8799) evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and they provoked him to jealousy H7065 (8762) with their sins H2403 which they had committed H2398 (8804), above all that their fathers H1 had done H6213 (8804).
[23] For they also built H1129 (8799) them high places H1116, and images H4676, and groves H842, on every high H1364 hill H1389, and under every green H7488 tree H6086.
[24] And there were also sodomites H6945 in the land H776: [and] they did H6213 (8804) according to all the abominations H8441 of the nations H1471 which the LORD H3068 cast out H3423 (8689) before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478.
[25] And it came to pass in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of king H4428 Rehoboam H7346, [that] Shishak H7895 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 came up H5927 (8804) against Jerusalem H3389:
[26] And he took away H3947 (8799) the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and the treasures H214 of the king’s H4428 house H1004; he even took away H3947 (8804) all: and he took away H3947 (8799) all the shields H4043 of gold H2091 which Solomon H8010 had made H6213 (8804).
[27] And king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made H6213 (8799) in their stead brasen H5178 shields H4043, and committed H6485 (8689) [them] unto the hands H3027 of the chief H8269 of the guard H7323 (8801), which kept H8104 (8802) the door H6607 of the king’s H4428 house H1004.
[28] And it was [so], when H1767 the king H4428 went H935 (8800) into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, that the guard H7323 (8801) bare H5375 (8799) them, and brought them back H7725 (8689) into the guard H7323 (8801) chamber H8372.
[29] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Rehoboam H7346, and all that he did H6213 (8804), [are] they not written H3789 (8803) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063?
[30] And there was war H4421 between Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all [their] days H3117.
[31] And Rehoboam H7346 slept H7901 (8799) with his fathers H1, and was buried H6912 (8735) with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732. And his mother’s H517 name H8034 [was] Naamah H5279 an Ammonitess H5985. And Abijam H38 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (8799) in his stead.

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Kings 14 (YLT)

[1] At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick,
[2] and Jeroboam saith to his wife, ‘Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou art wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there is Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of being king over this people;
[3] and thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.’
[4] And the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age.
[5] And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, ‘Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.’
[6] And it cometh to pass, at Ahijah’s hearing the sound of her feet as she came in to the opening, that he saith, ‘Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this-thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee with a sharp thing:
[7] Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel,
[8] and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee,-and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in Mine eyes,
[9] and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back:
[10] ‘Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall-shut up and left-in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;
[11] him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.
[12] ‘And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city-hath the lad died;
[13] and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one-by himself-cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
[14] ‘And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day-and what?-even now!
[15] And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;
[16] and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.’
[17] And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;
[18] and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
[19] And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
[20] And the days that Jeroboam reigned are twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son in his stead.
[21] And Rehoboam son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years is Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother is Naamah the Ammonitess.
[22] And Judah doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.
[23] And they build-also they-for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, and under every green tree;
[24] and also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
[25] And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem,
[26] and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made.
[27] And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made them a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,
[28] and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
[29] And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[30] And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days;
[31] and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother is Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
