1 # At that time <06256> Abijah <029> the son <01121> of Jeroboam <03379> fell sick <02470> (8804).
2 And Jeroboam <03379> said <0559> (8799) to his wife <0802>, Arise <06965> (8798), I pray thee, and disguise <08138> (8690) thyself, that thou be not known <03045> (8799) to be the wife <0802> of Jeroboam <03379>; and get <01980> (8804) thee to Shiloh <07887>: behold, there is Ahijah <0281> the prophet <05030>, which told <01696> (8765) me that I should be king <04428> over this people <05971>.
3 And take <03947> (8804) with thee <03027> ten <06235> loaves <03899>, and cracknels <05350>, and a cruse <01228> of honey <01706>, and go <0935> (8804) to him: he shall tell <05046> (8686) thee what shall become of the child <05288>.
4 And Jeroboam's <03379> wife <0802> did so <06213> (8799), and arose <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) to Shiloh <07887>, and came <0935> (8799) to the house <01004> of Ahijah <0281>. But Ahijah <0281> could <03201> (8804) not see <07200> (8800); for his eyes <05869> were set <06965> (8804) by reason of his age <07869>.
5 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8804) unto Ahijah <0281>, Behold, the wife <0802> of Jeroboam <03379> cometh <0935> (8802) to ask <01875> (8800) a thing <01697> of thee for her son <01121>; for he is sick <02470> (8802): thus <02090> and thus shalt thou say <01696> (8762) unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in <0935> (8800) , that she shall feign herself to be another <05234> (8693) woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah <0281> heard <08085> (8800) the sound <06963> of her feet <07272>, as she came in <0935> (8802) at the door <06607>, that he said <0559> (8799), Come in <0935> (8798), thou wife <0802> of Jeroboam <03379>; why feignest thou thyself to be another <05234> (8693)? for I am sent <07971> (8803) to thee with heavy <07186> tidings.
7 # Go <03212> (8798), tell <0559> (8798) Jeroboam <03379>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Forasmuch as <03282> I exalted <07311> (8689) thee from among <08432> the people <05971>, and made <05414> (8799) thee prince <05057> over my people <05971> Israel <03478>,
8 And rent <07167> <00> the kingdom <04467> away <07167> (8799) from the house <01004> of David <01732>, and gave <05414> (8799) it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant <05650> David <01732>, who kept <08104> (8804) my commandments <04687>, and who followed <01980> (8804) <0310> me with all his heart <03824>, to do <06213> (8800) that only which was right <03477> in mine eyes <05869>;
9 But hast done <06213> (8800) evil <07489> (8686) above all that were before <06440> thee: for thou hast gone <03212> (8799) and made <06213> (8799) thee other <0312> gods <0430>, and molten images <04541>, to provoke me to anger <03707> (8687), and hast cast <07993> (8689) me behind <0310> thy back <01458>:
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>, and will cut off <03772> (8689) from Jeroboam <03379> him that pisseth <08366> (8688) against the wall <07023>, and him that is shut up <06113> (8803) and left <05800> (8803) in Israel <03478>, and will take away <01197> (8765) the remnant <0310> of the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>, as a man taketh away <01197> (8762) dung <01557>, till it be all gone <08552> (8800).
11 Him that dieth <04191> (8801) of Jeroboam <03379> in the city <05892> shall the dogs <03611> eat <0398> (8799); and him that dieth <04191> (8801) in the field <07704> shall the fowls <05775> of the air <08064> eat <0398> (8799): for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it.
12 Arise <06965> (8798) thou therefore, get <03212> (8798) thee to thine own house <01004>: and when thy feet <07272> enter <0935> (8800) into the city <05892>, the child <03206> shall die <04191> (8804).
13 And all Israel <03478> shall mourn <05594> (8804) for him, and bury <06912> (8804) him: for he only of Jeroboam <03379> shall come <0935> (8799) to the grave <06913>, because in him there is found <04672> (8738) some good <02896> thing <01697> toward the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> in the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>.
14 Moreover the LORD <03068> shall raise him up <06965> (8689) a king <04428> over Israel <03478>, who shall cut off <03772> (8686) the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379> that day <03117>: but what? even now.
15 For the LORD <03068> shall smite <05221> (8689) Israel <03478>, as a reed <07070> is shaken <05110> (8799) in the water <04325>, and he shall root up <05428> (8804) Israel <03478> out of this good <02896> land <0127> , which he gave <05414> (8804) to their fathers <01>, and shall scatter <02219> (8765) them beyond <05676> the river <05104>, because they have made <06213> (8804) their groves <0842>, provoking the LORD <03068> to anger <03707> (8688) .
16 And he shall give <05414> <00> Israel <03478> up <05414> (8799) because <01558> of the sins <02403> of Jeroboam <03379>, who did sin <02398> (8804), and who made Israel <03478> to sin <02398> (8689).
17 And Jeroboam's <03379> wife <0802> arose <06965> (8799), and departed <03212> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) to Tirzah <08656>: and when she came <0935> (8802) to the threshold <05592> of the door <01004> , the child <05288> died <04191> (8804);
18 And they buried <06912> (8799) him; and all Israel <03478> mourned <05594> (8799) for him, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by the hand <03027> of his servant <05650> Ahijah <0281> the prophet <05030>.
19 And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jeroboam <03379>, how he warred <03898> (8738), and how he reigned <04427> (8804), behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
20 And the days <03117> which Jeroboam <03379> reigned <04427> (8804) were two <08147> and twenty <06242> years <08141>: and he slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and Nadab <05070> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
21 # And Rehoboam <07346> the son <01121> of Solomon <08010> reigned <04427> (8804) in Judah <03063> . Rehoboam <07346> was forty <0705> and one <0259> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800) , and he reigned <04427> (8804) seventeen <07651> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>, the city <05892> which the LORD <03068> did choose <0977> (8804) out of all the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, to put <07760> (8800) his name <08034> there. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Naamah <05279> an Ammonitess <05985>.
22 And Judah <03063> did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and they provoked him to jealousy <07065> (8762) with their sins <02403> which they had committed <02398> (8804), above all that their fathers <01> had done <06213> (8804).
23 For they also built <01129> (8799) them high places <01116>, and images <04676>, and groves <0842>, on every high <01364> hill <01389>, and under every green <07488> tree <06086>.
24 And there were also sodomites <06945> in the land <0776>: and they did <06213> (8804) according to all the abominations <08441> of the nations <01471> which the LORD <03068> cast out <03423> (8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth <02549> year <08141> of king <04428> Rehoboam <07346>, that Shishak <07895> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) against Jerusalem <03389>:
26 And he took away <03947> (8799) the treasures <0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the treasures <0214> of the king's <04428> house <01004>; he even took away <03947> (8804) all: and he took away <03947> (8799) all the shields <04043> of gold <02091> which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804).
27 And king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> made <06213> (8799) in their stead brasen <05178> shields <04043> , and committed <06485> (8689) them unto the hands <03027> of the chief <08269> of the guard <07323> (8801), which kept <08104> (8802) the door <06607> of the king's <04428> house <01004>.
28 And it was so, when <01767> the king <04428> went <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, that the guard <07323> (8801) bare <05375> (8799) them, and brought them back <07725> (8689) into the guard <07323> (8801) chamber <08372>.
29 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Rehoboam <07346>, and all that he did <06213> (8804), are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063> ?
30 And there was war <04421> between Rehoboam <07346> and Jeroboam <03379> all their days <03117>.
31 And Rehoboam <07346> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Naamah <05279> an Ammonitess <05985>. And Abijam <038> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
