1 At that H1931 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, H4994 and disguise thyself, H8138 that H3588 thou H859 be not H3808 known H3045 to be the wife H802 of Jeroboam; H3379 and get H1980 thee to Shiloh: H7887 behold, H2009 there H8033 is Ahijah H281 the prophet, H5030 which H1931 told H1696 H5921 me that I should be king H4428 over H5921 this H2088 people. H5971
3 And take H3947 with H3027 thee ten H6235 loaves, H3899 and cracknels, H5350 and a cruse H1228 of honey, H1706 and go H935 to H413 him: he H1931 shall tell H5046 thee what H4100 shall become H1961 of the child. H5288
4 And Jeroboam's H3379 wife H802 did H6213 so, H3651 and arose, H6965 and went H1980 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 H4480 H7869 .
5 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Ahijah, H281 Behold, H2009 the wife H802 of Jeroboam H3379 cometh H935 to ask H1875 a thing H1697 of H4480 H5973 thee for H413 her son; H1121 for H3588 he H1931 is sick: H2470 thus H2090 and thus H2088 shalt thou say H1696 unto H413 her : for it shall be, H1961 when she cometh in, H935 that she H1931 shall feign herself to be another woman. H5234
6 And it was H1961 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 H4100 H2088 feignest thou thyself to be another H5234 H859 ? for I H595 am sent H7971 to H413 thee with heavy H7186 tidings .
7 Go H1980 , tell H559 Jeroboam, H3379 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Forasmuch H3282 H834 as I exalted H7311 thee from among H4480 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 from the house H4480 H1004 of David, H1732 and gave H5414 it thee : and yet thou hast not H3808 been H1961 as my servant H5650 David, H1732 who H834 kept H8104 my commandments, H4687 and who H834 followed H1980 H310 me with all H3605 his heart, H3824 to do H6213 that only H7535 which was right H3477 in mine eyes; H5869
9 But hast done H6213 evil H7489 above all H4480 H3605 that H834 were H1961 before H6440 thee : for thou hast gone H1980 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 H3651 behold, H2009 I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H413 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 H834 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 H859 therefore, get H1980 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 H3605 Israel H3478 shall mourn H5594 for him , and bury H6912 him: for H3588 H2088 he only H905 of Jeroboam H3379 shall come H935 to H413 the grave, H6913 because H3282 in him there is found H4672 some good H2896 thing H1697 toward H413 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 H2088 day: H3117 but what H4100 ? even H1571 now. H6258
15 For the LORD H3068 shall smite H5221 H853 Israel, H3478 as H834 a reed H7070 is shaken H5110 in the water, H4325 and he shall root up H5428 H853 Israel H3478 out of H4480 H5921 this H2063 good H2896 land, H127 which H834 he gave H5414 to their fathers, H1 and shall scatter H2219 them beyond H4480 H5676 the river, H5104 because H3282 H834 they have made H6213 H853 their groves, H842 provoking the LORD to anger H3707 H853 H3068 .
16 And he shall give Israel up H5414 H853 H3478 because H1558 of the sins H2403 of Jeroboam, H3379 who H834 did sin, H2398 and who H834 made Israel to sin H2398 H853 H3478 .
17 And Jeroboam's H3379 wife H802 arose, H6965 and departed, H1980 and came H935 to Tirzah: H8656 and when she H1931 came H935 to the threshold H5592 of the door, H1004 the child H5288 died; H4191
18 And they buried H6912 him ; and all H3605 Israel H3478 mourned H5594 for him , according to the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 he spoke 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 H834 he warred, H3898 and how H834 he reigned, H4427 behold, H2009 they are written H3789 in H5921 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. H8478
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 H4480 H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 to put H7760 H853 his name H8034 there. H8033 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 an Ammonitess. H5984
22 And Judah H3063 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 and they provoked him to jealousy H7065 H853 with their sins H2403 which H834 they had committed, H2398 above all H4480 H3605 that H834 their fathers H1 had done. H6213
23 For they H1992 also H1571 built H1129 them high places, H1116 and images, H4676 and groves, H842 on H5921 every H3605 high H1364 hill, H1389 and under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree. H6086
24 And there were H1961 also H1571 sodomites H6945 in the land: H776 and they did H6213 according to all H3605 the abominations H8441 of the nations H1471 which H834 the LORD H3068 cast out H3423 before H4480 H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
25 And it came to pass H1961 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 H853 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: H3605 and he took away H3947 H853 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 H8478 brazen H5178 shields, H4043 and committed H6485 them unto H5921 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 H1961 so , when H4480 H1767 the king H4428 went H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 that the guard H7323 bore H5375 them , and brought them back H7725 into H413 the guard H7323 chamber. H8372
29 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Rehoboam, H7346 and all H3605 that H834 he did, H6213 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ?
30 And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all H3605 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. H5984 And Abijam H38 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
