| 1 Kings 14:1 |
|
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell
sick. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:2 |
|
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray
thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam;
and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that
I should be king over this people. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:3 |
|
And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels,
and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the
child. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:4 |
|
And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went
to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his
eyes were set by reason of his age. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:5 |
|
And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife
of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and
thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall
feign herself to be another woman. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:6 |
|
And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of
her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam;
why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:7 |
|
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince
over my people Israel, |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:8 |
|
And rent the kingdom away from the house of
David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept
my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which
was right in mine eyes; |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:9 |
|
But hast done evil above all that were before
thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke
me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:10 |
|
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the
house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the
wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant
of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:11 |
|
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall
the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat:
for the LORD hath spoken it. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:12 |
|
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own
house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:13 |
|
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury
him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is
found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:14 |
|
Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king
over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even
now. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:15 |
|
For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is
shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which
he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they
have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:16 |
|
And he shall give Israel up because of the sins
of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:17 |
|
And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and
came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:18 |
|
And they buried him; and all Israel mourned
for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his
servant Ahijah the prophet. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:19 |
|
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he
warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles
of the kings of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:20 |
|
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two
and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in
his stead. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:21 |
|
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.
Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen
years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of
Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:22 |
|
And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD,
and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above
all that their fathers had done. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:23 |
|
For they also built them high places, and images,
and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:24 |
|
And there were also sodomites in the land: and
they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast
out before the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:25 |
|
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:26 |
|
And he took away the treasures of the house
of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and
he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:27 |
|
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen
shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept
the door of the king's house. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:28 |
|
And it was so, when the king went into the house
of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:29 |
|
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all
that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah? |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:30 |
|
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam
all their days. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 14:31 |
|
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was
buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah
an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead. |
