1 Kings 14 ©
1 Abijah, Jeroboam's son, being sick, Jeroboam sendeth his wife in disguise with presents to enquire of Ahijah the prophet. 5 Ahijah, forewarned by God of her coming, denounceth God's judgments against Jeroboam's house. 17 Abijah dieth, and is buried. 19 Jeroboam dieth, and is succeeded by Nadab. 21 Rehoboam's wicked reign. 25 Shishak king of Egypt carrieth away much treasure from Jerusalem. 29 Rehoboam dieth, and is succeeded by Abijam.
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and cdisguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to dShiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that eI should be king over this people.
And take 1with thee ten loaves, and 2cracknels, and a 3*cruse of honey, and go to him: he fshall tell thee what shall become of the child.
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 4were set by reason of his age.
But lhast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and mmolten images, to provoke me to anger, and nhast cast me behind thy back:
Therefore, behold, oI will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam phim 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 qdung, till it be all gone.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and swhen thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
Moreover vthe LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? weven now.
¶And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to dTirzah: and ewhen she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
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.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he 6slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his *stead.
¶And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. gRehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city hwhich the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an iAmmonitess.
And Judah jdid evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him kto jealousy with their sins which they had committed, labove all that their fathers had done.
And king Rehoboam umade in their *stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of 8the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
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.
¶Now vthe 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?
And there wwas war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
