Book 11 1 Kings Chapter 014

 

014:001At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

 

014:002And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and
disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of
Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the
prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.

 

014:003And 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.

 

014:004And Jeroboam's 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.

 

014:005And 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.

 

014:006And 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; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am
sent to thee with heavy tidings.

 

014:007Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made
thee prince over my people Israel,

 

014:008And 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;

 

014:009But 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:

 

014:010Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth
against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a
man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

 

014:011Him 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.

 

014:012Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when
thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

 

014:013And 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.

 

014:014Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who
shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even
now.

 

014:015For the LORD shall smite Israel, 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.

 

014:016And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam,
who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.

 

014:017And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah:
and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child
died;

 

014:018And 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.

 

014:019And 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.

 

014:020And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years:
and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in
his stead.

 

014:021And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was
forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did
choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there.
And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

 

014:022And 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.

 

014:023For they also built them high places, and images, and groves,
on every high hill, and under every green tree.

 

014:024And 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.

 

014:025And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

 

014:026And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and
the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and
he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

 

014:027And 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 king's house.

 

014:028And 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.

 

014:029Now 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?

 

014:030And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their
days.

 

014:031And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah
an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
