1 Kings 14 At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick,

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick, ² and Jeroboam said to his wife, `Rise, I pray you, and change yourself, and they know not that you [are] wife of Jeroboam, and you have gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spoke unto me of [being] king over this people;" ³ and you have taken in your hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and have gone in unto him; he does declare to you what becomes of the youth.. ⁴ And the wife of Jeroboam does so, and rises, and goes to Shiloh, and enters the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age. ⁵ And Yahweh said unto Ahijah, `Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from you concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus you do speak unto her, and it comes to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.. ⁶ And it comes to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he said, `Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this--you are making yourself strange? and I am sent unto you [with] a sharp thing. ⁷ Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, Because that I have made you high out of the midst of the people, and appoint you leader over my people Israel, ⁸ and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to you, --and you have 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 you do evil above all who have been before you, and go, and make to you other elohims and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me you have cast behind your 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 puts away the dung till its consumption;" ¹¹ him who dies of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dies in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Yahweh has spoken. ¹² `And you, rise, go to your house; in the going in of your feet to the city--has the lad died;" ¹³ and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one--by himself--comes of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there has been found in him a good thing towards Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. ¹⁴ `And Yahweh has raised up for Him a king over Israel who cuts off the house of Jeroboam this day--and what? --even now! ¹⁵ And Yahweh has smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and has 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 Yahweh to anger;" ¹⁶ and He gives up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.. ¹⁷ And the wife of Jeroboam rises, and goes, and comes to Tirzah; she has come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dies;" ¹⁸ and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, that he spoke 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 lies with his fathers, and reign does Nadab his son in his stead. ²¹ And Rehoboam son of Solomon has reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he has reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh 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 does the evil thing in the eyes of Yahweh, 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 has been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Yahweh dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel. ²⁵ And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up has Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem, ²⁶ and he takes the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he has taken; and he takes all the shields of gold that Solomon made. ²⁷ And king Rehoboam makes in their stead shields of brass, and has 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 comes to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Yahweh, 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 has been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days; ³¹ and Rehoboam lies 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 does Abijam his son in his stead.
