1 Kings 14:5-16
5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to AhijahH281, Behold, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 comethH935 to askH1875 a thingH1697 of thee for her sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thusH2090 and thus shalt thou sayH1696 to her: for it shall be, when she cometh inH935, that she shall pretend to be anotherH5234 woman . 6And it was so, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272, as she came inH935 at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, Come inH935, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; why pretendest thou to be anotherH5234? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavyH7186 tidings .1
7GoH3212, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Forasmuch asH3282 I exaltedH7311 thee from amongH8432 the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 8And toreH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it to thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH1980H310 me with all his heartH3824, to doH6213 that only which was rightH3477 in my eyesH5869; 9But hast doneH6213 evilH7489 above all that were beforeH6440 thee: for thou hast goneH3212 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provoke me to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458: 10Therefore, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cut offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 the malesH8366H7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478, and will take awayH1197 the remnantH310 of the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man taketh awayH1197 dungH1557, till it is all goneH8552. 11Him that diethH4191 of JeroboamH3379 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it . 12AriseH6965 thou therefore, departH3212 to thy own houseH1004: and when thy feetH7272 enterH935 into the cityH5892, the childH3206 shall dieH4191. 13And all IsraelH3478 shall mournH5594 for him, and buryH6912 him: for he only of JeroboamH3379 shall comeH935 to the graveH6913, because in him there is foundH4672 some goodH2896 thingH1697 toward the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379. 14Moreover the LORDH3068 shall raise him upH6965 a kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, who shall cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 that dayH3117: but what? even now. 15For the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 IsraelH3478, as a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325, and he shall root upH5428 IsraelH3478 out of this goodH2896 landH127, which he gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and shall scatterH2219 them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, because they have madeH6213 their idolsH842, provoking the LORDH3068 to angerH3707. 16And he shall give upH5414 IsraelH3478 becauseH1558 of the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379, who sinnedH2398, and who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
