[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 to 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 whoever belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat whoever 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 guarded 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.

Jeroboam’s Son

[1] At that time H6256 Abijah H29 the son H1121 of Jeroboam H3379 fell sick. H2470 [2] And Jeroboam H3379 said H559 to his wife, H802 Arise, H6965 I pray thee, and disguise H8138 thyself, that thou be not known H3045 to be the wife H802 of Jeroboam; H3379 and get H1980 thee to Shiloh: H7887 behold, there is Ahijah H281 the prophet, H5030 which told H1696 me that I should be king H4428 over H5921 this H2088 people. H5971 [3] And take H3947 with§ thee H3027 ten H6235 loaves, H3899 and cracknels, H5350§ and a cruse H1228§ of honey, H1706 and go H935 to him: he shall tell H5046 thee what shall become of the child. H5288 [4] And Jeroboam’s H3379 wife H802 did H6213 so, H3651 and arose, H6965 and went H3212 to Shiloh, H7887 and came H935 to the house H1004 of Ahijah. H281 But Ahijah H281 could H3201 not H3808 see; H7200 for H3588 his eyes H5869 were set H6965 by reason of his age. H7869§ [5] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 Ahijah, H281 Behold, the wife H802 of Jeroboam H3379 cometh H935 to ask H1875 a thing H1697 of thee for her son; H1121 for he is sick: H2470 thus H2090 and thus shalt thou say H1696 unto H413 her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, H935 that she shall feign herself to be another H5234 woman. [6] And it was so, when Ahijah H281 heard H8085 H853 the sound H6963 of her feet, H7272 as she came in H935 at the door, H6607 that he said, H559 Come in, H935 thou wife H802 of Jeroboam; H3379 why feignest thou thyself to be another? H5234 for I am sent H7971 to thee with heavy§ H7186 tidings. [7] Go, H3212 tell H559 Jeroboam, H3379 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Forasmuch as H3282 I exalted H7311 thee from among H8432 the people, H5971 and made H5414 thee prince H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel, H3478 [8] and rent H7167 H853 the kingdom H4467 away H7167 from the house H1004 of David, H1732 and gave H5414 it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant H5650 David, H1732 who H834 kept H8104 my commandments, H4687 and who followed H1980 H310 me with all his heart, H3824 to do H6213 that only which was right H3477 in mine eyes; H5869 [9] but hast done H6213 evil H7489 above all that were before H6440 thee: for thou hast gone H3212 and made H6213 thee other H312 gods, H430 and molten images, H4541 to provoke me to anger, H3707 and hast cast H7993 me behind H310 thy back: H1458 [10] therefore, behold, I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon the house H1004 of Jeroboam, H3379 and will cut off H3772 from Jeroboam H3379 him that pisseth H8366 against the wall, H7023 and him that is shut up H6113 and left H5800 in Israel, H3478 and will take away H1197 the remnant H310 of the house H1004 of Jeroboam, H3379 as a man taketh away H1197 dung, H1557 till H5704 it be all gone. H8552 [11] Him that dieth H4191 of Jeroboam H3379 in the city H5892 shall the dogs H3611 eat; H398 and him that dieth H4191 in the field H7704 shall the fowls H5775 of the air H8064 eat: H398 for H3588 the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 it. [12] Arise H6965 thou therefore, get H3212 thee to thine own house: H1004 and when thy feet H7272 enter H935 into the city, H5892 the child H3206 shall die. H4191 [13] And all Israel H3478 shall mourn H5594 for him, and bury H6912 him: for he only of Jeroboam H3379 shall come H935 to the grave, H6913 because in him there is found H4672 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 a king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 who H834 shall cut off H3772 H853 the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 that day: H3117 but what? even now. [15] For the Lord H3068 shall smite H5221 Israel, H3478 as a reed H7070 is shaken H5110 in the water, H4325 and he shall root up H5428 Israel H3478 out of this good H2896 land, H127 which H834 he gave H5414 to their fathers, H1 and shall scatter H2219 them beyond H5676 the river, H5104 because they have made H6213 H853 their groves, H842 provoking the Lord H3068 to anger. H3707 [16] And he shall give H5414 Israel H3478 up H5414 because H1558 of the sins H2403 of Jeroboam, H3379 who H834 did sin, H2398 and who made Israel H3478 to sin. H2398 [17] And Jeroboam’s H3379 wife H802 arose, H6965 and departed, H3212 and came H935 to Tirzah: H8656 and when she came H935 to the threshold H5592 of the door, H1004 the child H5288 died; H4191 [18] and they buried H6912 him; and all Israel H3478 mourned H5594 for him, according to the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 which H834 he spake H1696 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 and how he reigned, H4427 behold, they are written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel. H3478 [20] And the days H3117 which H834 Jeroboam H3379 reigned H4427 were two H8147 and twenty H6242 years: H8141 and he slept H7901§ with H5973 his fathers, H1 and Nadab H5070 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead.

Rehoboam

[21] And Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 reigned H4427 in Judah. H3063 Rehoboam H7346 was forty H705 and one H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem, H3389 the city H5892 which H834 the Lord H3068 did choose H977 out of all the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 to put H7760 his name H8034 there. And his mother’s H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 an Ammonitess. H5985 [22] And Judah H3063 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 and they provoked him to jealousy H7065 with their sins H2403 which H834 they had committed, H2398 above all that their fathers H1 had done. H6213 [23] For they also built H1129 them high places, H1116 and images, H4676§ and groves, H842 on H5921 every H3605 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 according to all the abominations H8441 of the nations H1471 which H834 the Lord H3068 cast out H3423 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 against H5921 Jerusalem: H3389 [26] and he took away H3947 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 all: and he took away H3947 all H3605 the shields H4043 of gold H2091 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made. H6213 [27] And king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made H6213 in their stead brasen H5178 shields, H4043 and committed H6485 them unto the hands H3027 of the chief H8269 of the guard, H7323§ which kept H8104 the door H6607 of the king’s H4428 house. H1004 [28] And it was so, when H1767 the king H4428 went H935 into the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 that the guard H7323 bare H5375 them, and brought them back H7725 into the guard H7323 chamber. H8372 [29] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Rehoboam, H7346 and all that he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063 [30] And there was war H4421 between H996 Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all their days. H3117 [31] And Rehoboam H7346 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with H5973 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 in his stead.
