1 Kings 14:5-17

5Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to 1inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that 2she will pretend to be another woman.”

6When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message. 7Go, say to Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel, “3Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over My people Israel, 8and 4tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you--5yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, 6to do only that which was right in My sight; 9you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and 7have gone and made for yourself other gods and 8molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have 9cast Me behind your back-- 10therefore behold, I am bringing calamity on the house of Jeroboam, and 10will cut off from Jeroboam 11every male person, 12both bond and free in Israel, and I 13will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone. 1114Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs will eat. And he who dies in the field the birds of the heavens will eat; for the Lord has spoken it.”’ 12Now you, arise, go to your house. 15When your feet enter the city the child will die. 13All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for 16he alone of Jeroboam’s family will come to the grave, because in him 17something good was found toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 14Moreover, 18the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam this day 19and from now on.

15“For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and 20He will uproot Israel from 21this good land which He gave to their fathers, and 22will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, 23because they have made their 24Asherim, provoking the Lord to anger. 16He will give up Israel 25on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he 26committed and with which he made Israel to sin.”

17Then Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed and came to 27Tirzah. 28As she was entering the threshold of the house, the child died.
