1 Kings 14

1At that time AbijahH29 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 fell sickH2470. 2And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 to his wifeH802, AriseH6965, I prayH4994 thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be notH3808 knownH3045 to be the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379: and getH6965 thee to ShilohH7887; beholdH2009, there is AhijahH281 the prophetH5030, whichH1931 spake concerning meH4994 that I should be kingH4428 over this peopleH5971. 3And takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 loavesH3899, and cracknels, and a cruse of honeyH1706, and goH935 to him: he shall tellH5046 thee whatH4100 shall becomeH1961 of the childH5288. 4And Jeroboam’sH3379 wifeH802 didH6213 soH3651, and aroseH6965, and wentH935 to ShilohH7887, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of AhijahH281. NowH3588 AhijahH281 couldH3201 notH3808 seeH7200; for his eyesH5869 were setH6965 by reasonH3651 of his ageH935. 5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AhijahH281, BeholdH2009, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 cometh to inquireH1875 of thee concerning herH413 sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thusH2088 and thusH2088 shalt thou sayH559 unto herH413: for it shall be, when sheH1931 cometh in, that sheH1931 shall feign herselfH1931 to be anotherH2088 womanH802. 6And it was soH7971, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of herH413 feetH7272, as sheH4100 cameH935 in at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, ComeH935 in, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; whyH4100 feignest thou thyself to be anotherH2088? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavy tidings. 7Go, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee from among the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 8and rent the kingdomH4467 awayH1980 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it thee: and yet thou hast notH3808 been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH310 meH5414 with allH3605 his heartH3824, to doH6213 that onlyH7535 whichH834 was rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869; 9but hast doneH6213 evilH7489 aboveH6440 allH3605 that were beforeH6440 thee, and hast goneH1961 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provokeH3707 meH6440 to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 meH6440 behindH310 thy backH310: 10therefore, beholdH2005, I will bringH935 evilH7451 uponH935 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cutH3772 offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 everyH8366 man child, him that is shutH6113 upH5704 and him that is leftH5800 at largeH1004 in IsraelH3478, and will utterlyH8552 sweep awayH310 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man sweepeth awayH310 dungH1557, tillH5704 it be allH5704 goneH935. 11Him that dieth of JeroboamH3379 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that dieth in the fieldH7704 shall the fowls of the air eatH398: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it. 12AriseH6965 thou therefore, getH6965 thee to thine houseH1004: and when thy feetH7272 enterH935 intoH935 the cityH5892, the childH3206 shall dieH4191. 13And allH3605 IsraelH3478 shall mournH5594 for him, and buryH6912 him; for he onlyH905 of JeroboamH3379 shall comeH935 to the graveH6913: becauseH3588 in him there is foundH4672 someH3605 goodH2896 thingH1697 towardH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379. 14MoreoverH1571 the LORDH3068 shall raiseH6965 him upH6965 a kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, who shall cutH3772 offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 that dayH3117: but whatH4100? evenH1571 nowH6258. n 15For the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 IsraelH3478, as a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325; and he shall rootH5428 upH5921 IsraelH3478 outH5921 of this goodH2896 landH127, whichH834 he gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and shall scatterH2219 them beyondH5676 the RiverH5104; becauseH5921 they have madeH6213 their AsherimH842, provokingH3707 the LORDH3068 to angerH3707. 16And he shall giveH5414 IsraelH3478 upH5414 becauseH834 of the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379, whichH834 he hath sinnedH2398, and wherewith he hath madeH5414 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 17And Jeroboam’sH3379 wifeH802 aroseH6965, and departedH935, and cameH935 to TirzahH8656: and as sheH1931 cameH935 to the threshold of the houseH1004, the childH5288 diedH4191. 18And allH3605 IsraelH3478 buriedH6912 him, and mournedH5594 for him; accordingH3027 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 he spake by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the prophetH5030. 19And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, howH834 he warred, and howH834 he reignedH4427, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 20And the daysH3117 whichH834 JeroboamH3379 reignedH4427 were twoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141: and he sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and NadabH5070 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 21And RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 was fortyH705 and one yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 seventeenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 whichH834 the LORDH3068 had chosenH977 outH3605 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to putH7760 his nameH8034 there: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 the AmmonitessH5985. 22And JudahH3063 didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and they provokedH7065 him to jealousyH7065 with their sinsH2398 whichH834 they committedH2398, above allH3605 that their fathersH1 had doneH6213. 23For they also builtH1129 them highH1116 placesH1116, and pillarsH4676, and AsherimH842, on everyH3605 highH1116 hillH1389, and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086; 24and there were also sodomitesH6945 in the landH776: they didH6213 according to allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 whichH834 the LORDH3068 drave outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 25And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346, that ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH1961 upH5927 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389: 26and he tookH3947 awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004; he evenH853 tookH3947 awayH3947 allH3605: and he tookH3947 awayH3947 allH3605 the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213. 27And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 in their steadH8478 shieldsH4043 of brassH5178, and committedH6213 them to the handsH3027 of the captainsH8269 of the guardH8104, whichH1004 keptH8104 the doorH6607 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004. 28And it was soH1961, that as oft as the kingH4428 wentH935 intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardH7323 bare them, and broughtH935 them backH7725 intoH413 the guardH7323 chamber. 29NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 30And there was warH4421 betweenH996 RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 continuallyH3117. 31And RehoboamH7346 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 the AmmonitessH5985. And AbijamH38 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
