Context
14:15 The Lord will attack Israel , making it like a reed that sways in the water . He will remove Israel from this good land he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River , because they angered the Lord by making Asherah poles .
14:16 He will hand Israel over to their enemies because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he made Israel commit .”
14:17 So Jeroboam’s wife got up and went back to Tirzah . As she crossed the threshold of the house , the boy died .
14:18 All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had predicted through his servant the prophet Ahijah .
