1 Kings 12:1--14:31

12:1

And Rehoboam
<07346>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

for all Israel
<03478>

were come
<0935> (8804)

to Shechem
<07927>

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

12:2

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who was yet in Egypt
<04714>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[of it], (for he was fled
<01272> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and Jeroboam
<03379>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Egypt
<04714>;)

12:3

That they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him. And Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:4

Thy father
<01>

made
<07185> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

grievous
<07185> (8689)_:

now therefore make thou the grievous
<07186>

service
<05656>

of thy father
<01>_,

and his heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

which he put
<05414> (8804)

upon us, lighter
<07043> (8685)_,

and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

12:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Depart
<03212> (8798)

yet [for] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

then come again
<07725> (8798)

to me. And the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

12:6

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the old men
<02205>_,

that stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>

his father
<01>

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

How do ye advise
<03289> (8737)

that I may
<07725> (8687)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_?

12:7

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou wilt be a servant
<05650>

unto this people
<05971>

this day
<03117>_,

and wilt serve
<05647> (8804)

them, and answer
<06030> (8804)

them, and speak
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

words
<01697>

to them, then they will be thy servants
<05650>

for ever
<03117>_.

12:8

But he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

of the old men
<02205>_,

which they had given
<03289> (8804)

him, and consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him, [and] which stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

him:

12:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What counsel give
<03289> (8737)

ye that we may
<07725> (8686)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_,

who have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Make
<07043> (0)

the yoke
<05923>

which thy father
<01>

did put
<05414> (8804)

upon us lighter
<07043> (8685)_?

12:10

And the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou speak
<0559> (8799)

unto this people
<05971>

that spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but make thou [it] lighter
<07043> (8685)

unto us; thus shalt thou say
<01696> (8762)

unto them, My little
<06995>

[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)

than my father's
<01>

loins
<04975>_.

12:11

And now whereas my father
<01>

did lade
<06006> (8689)

you with a heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>_,

I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

hath chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

12:12

So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

as the king
<04428>

had appointed
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come to me again
<07725> (8798)

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.

12:13

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the people
<05971>

roughly
<07186>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8799)

the old men's
<02205>

counsel
<06098>

that they gave
<03289> (8804)

him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}

12:14

And spake
<01696> (8762)

to them after the counsel
<06098>

of the young men
<03206>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

your yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

and I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

[also] chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

12:15

Wherefore the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the people
<05971>_;

for the cause
<05438>

was from the LORD
<03068>_,

that he might perform
<06965> (8687)

his saying
<01697>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

unto Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_.

12:16

So
<07725> (8686)

when all Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto them, the people
<05971>

answered
<01697>

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What portion
<02506>

have we in David
<01732>_?

neither [have we] inheritance
<05159>

in the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_:

to your tents
<0168>_,

O Israel
<03478>_:

now see
<07200> (8798)

to thine own house
<01004>_,

David
<01732>_.

So Israel
<03478>

departed
<03212> (8799)

unto their tents
<0168>_.

12:17

But [as for] the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Rehoboam
<07346>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over them.

12:18

Then king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Adoram
<0151>_,

who [was] over the tribute
<04522>_;

and all Israel
<03478>

stoned
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

Therefore king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

made speed
<0553> (8694)

to get him up
<05927> (8800)

to his chariot
<04818>_,

to flee
<05127> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{made...: Heb. strengthened himself}

12:19

So Israel
<03478>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{rebelled: or, fell away}

12:20

And it came to pass, when all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8800)

that Jeroboam
<03379>

was come again
<07725> (8804)_,

that they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him unto the congregation
<05712>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

over all Israel
<03478>_:

there was none that followed
<0310>

the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

but
<02108>

the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

12:21

And when Rehoboam
<07346>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

he assembled
<06950> (8686)

all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

with the tribe
<07626>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

thousand
<0505>

chosen men
<0977> (8803)_,

which were warriors
<06213> (8802) <04421>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to bring
<07725> (0)

the kingdom
<04410>

again
<07725> (8687)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

12:22

But the word
<01697>

of God
<0430>

came unto Shemaiah
<08098>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:23

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and unto all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

and to the remnant
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:24

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,

nor fight
<03898> (8735)

against your brethren
<0251>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_;

for this thing
<01697>

is
<01961> (8738)

from me. They hearkened
<08085> (8799)

therefore to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:25

Then Jeroboam
<03379>

built
<01129> (8799)

Shechem
<07927>

in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein; and went out
<03318> (8799)

from thence, and built
<01129> (8799)

Penuel
<06439>_.

12:26

And Jeroboam
<03379>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Now shall the kingdom
<04467>

return
<07725> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_:

12:27

If this people
<05971>

go up
<05927> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

sacrifice
<02077>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then shall the heart
<03820>

of this people
<05971>

turn again
<07725> (8804)

unto their lord
<0113>_,

[even] unto Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and they shall kill
<02026> (8804)

me, and go again
<07725> (8804)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

12:28

Whereupon the king
<04428>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

calves
<05695>

[of] gold
<02091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, It is too much
<07227>

for you to go up
<05927> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

behold thy gods
<0430>_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

which brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

12:29

And he set
<07760> (8799)

the one
<0259>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and the other
<0259>

put
<05414> (8804)

he in Dan
<01835>_.

12:30

And this thing
<01697>

became a sin
<02403>_:

for the people
<05971>

went
<03212> (8799)

[to worship] before
<06440>

the one
<0259>_,

[even] unto Dan
<01835>_.

12:31

And he made
<06213> (8799)

an house
<01004>

of high places
<01116>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

priests
<03548>

of the lowest
<07098>

of the people
<05971>_,

which were not of the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_.

12:32

And Jeroboam
<03379>

ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

in the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

on the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>_,

like unto the feast
<02282>

that [is] in Judah
<03063>_,

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_.

So did
<06213> (8804)

he in Bethel
<01008>_,

sacrificing
<02076> (8763)

unto the calves
<05695>

that he had made
<06213> (8804)_:

and he placed
<05975> (8689)

in Bethel
<01008>

the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}

12:33

So he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)

in Bethel
<01008>

the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

[even] in the month
<02320>

which he had devised
<0908> (8804)

of his own heart
<03820>_;

and ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_,

and burnt incense
<06999> (8687)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt...: Heb. to burn incense}

13:1

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

out of Judah
<03063>

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Bethel
<01008>_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by the altar
<04196>

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_.

{burn: or, offer}

13:2

And he cried
<07121> (8799)

against the altar
<04196>

in the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O altar
<04196>_,

altar
<04196>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, a child
<01121>

shall be born
<03205> (8737)

unto the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

Josiah
<02977>

by name
<08034>_;

and upon thee shall he offer
<02076> (8804)

the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

that burn incense
<06999> (8688)

upon thee, and men's
<0120>

bones
<06106>

shall be burnt
<08313> (8799)

upon thee.

13:3

And he gave
<05414> (8804)

a sign
<04159>

the same day
<03117>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This [is] the sign
<04159>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_;

Behold, the altar
<04196>

shall be rent
<07167> (8738)_,

and the ashes
<01880>

that [are] upon it shall be poured out
<08210> (8738)_.

13:4

And it came to pass, when king
<04428>

Jeroboam
<03379>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the saying
<01697>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

which had cried
<07121> (8804)

against the altar
<04196>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

that he put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

from the altar
<04196>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lay hold
<08610> (8798)

on him. And his hand
<03027>_,

which he put forth
<07971> (8804)

against him, dried up
<03001> (8799)_,

so that he could
<03201> (8804)

not pull it in again
<07725> (8687)

to him.

13:5

The altar
<04196>

also was rent
<07167> (8738)_,

and the ashes
<01880>

poured out
<08210> (8735)

from the altar
<04196>_,

according to the sign
<04159>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had given
<05414> (8804)

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

13:6

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

Intreat
<02470> (8761)

now the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and pray
<06419> (8690)

for me, that my hand
<03027>

may be restored me again
<07725> (8799)_.

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

besought
<02470> (8762) <06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

hand
<03027>

was restored him again
<07725> (8799)_,

and became as [it was] before
<07223>_.

{the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}

13:7

And the king
<04428>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

Come
<0935> (8798)

home
<01004>

with me, and refresh
<05582> (8798)

thyself, and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thee a reward
<04991>_.

13:8

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

If thou wilt give
<05414> (8799)

me half
<02677>

thine house
<01004>_,

I will not go in
<0935> (8799)

with thee, neither will I eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

in this place
<04725>_:

13:9

For so was it charged
<06680> (8765)

me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>_,

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_,

nor turn again
<07725> (8799)

by the same way
<01870>

that thou camest
<01980> (8804)_.

13:10

So he went
<03212> (8799)

another
<0312>

way
<01870>_,

and returned
<07725> (8804)

not by the way
<01870>

that he came
<0935> (8804)

to Bethel
<01008>_.

13:11

Now there dwelt
<03427> (8802)

an
<0259>

old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

in Bethel
<01008>_;

and his sons
<01121>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05608> (8762)

him all the works
<04639>

that the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

that day
<03117>

in Bethel
<01008>_:

the words
<01697>

which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto the king
<04428>_,

them they told
<05608> (8762)

also to their father
<01>_.

13:12

And their father
<01>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, What way
<01870>

went
<01980> (8804)

he? For his sons
<01121>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

what
<0335>

way
<01870>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

went
<01980> (8804)_,

which came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_.

13:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his sons
<01121>_,

Saddle
<02280> (8798)

me the ass
<02543>_.

So they saddled
<02280> (8799)

him the ass
<02543>_:

and he rode
<07392> (8799)

thereon,

13:14

And went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

him sitting
<03427> (8802)

under an oak
<0424>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

that camest
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

13:15

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come
<03212> (8798)

home
<01004>

with me, and eat
<0398> (8798)

bread
<03899>_.

13:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I may
<03201> (8799)

not return
<07725> (8800)

with thee, nor go in
<0935> (8800)

with thee: neither will I eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

with thee in this place
<04725>_:

13:17

For it was said
<01697>

to me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>

nor drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

there, nor turn again
<07725> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

by the way
<01870>

that thou camest
<01980> (8804)_.

{it...: Heb. a word was}

13:18

He said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] a prophet
<05030>

also as thou [art]; and an angel
<04397>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto me by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring him back
<07725> (8685)

with thee into thine house
<01004>_,

that he may eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

and drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_.

[But] he lied
<03584> (8765)

unto him.

13:19

So he went back
<07725> (8799)

with him, and did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

in his house
<01004>_,

and drank
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>_.

13:20

And it came to pass, as they sat
<03427> (8802)

at the table
<07979>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto the prophet
<05030>

that brought him back
<07725> (8689)_:

13:21

And he cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

that came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Forasmuch as
<03282>

thou hast disobeyed
<04784> (8804)

the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and hast not kept
<08104> (8804)

the commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee,

13:22

But camest back
<07725> (8799)_,

and hast eaten
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

and drunk
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

in the place
<04725>_,

of the which [the LORD] did say
<01696> (8765)

to thee, Eat
<0398> (8799)

no bread
<03899>_,

and drink
<08354> (8799)

no water
<04325>_;

thy carcase
<05038>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

unto the sepulchre
<06913>

of thy fathers
<01>_.

13:23

And it came to pass, after
<0310>

he had eaten
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_,

and after
<0310>

he had drunk
<08354> (8800)_,

that he saddled
<02280> (8799)

for him the ass
<02543>_,

[to wit], for the prophet
<05030>

whom he had brought back
<07725> (8689)_.

13:24

And when he was gone
<03212> (8799)_,

a lion
<0738>

met
<04672> (8799)

him by the way
<01870>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him: and his carcase
<05038>

was cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the ass
<02543>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

it, the lion
<0738>

also stood
<05975> (8802)

by the carcase
<05038>_.

13:25

And, behold, men
<0582>

passed by
<05674> (8802)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the carcase
<05038>

cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the lion
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the carcase
<05038>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<01696> (8762)

[it] in the city
<05892>

where the old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

13:26

And when the prophet
<05030>

that brought him back
<07725> (8689)

from the way
<01870>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[thereof], he said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

who was disobedient
<04784> (8804)

unto the word
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8799)

him unto the lion
<0738>_,

which hath torn
<07665> (8799)

him, and slain
<04191> (8686)

him, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him. {torn: Heb. broken}

13:27

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

to his sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saddle
<02280> (8798)

me the ass
<02543>_.

And they saddled
<02280> (8799)

[him].

13:28

And he went
<03212> (8799)

and found
<04672> (8799)

his carcase
<05038>

cast
<07993> (8716)

in the way
<01870>_,

and the ass
<02543>

and the lion
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the carcase
<05038>_:

the lion
<0738>

had not eaten
<0398> (8804)

the carcase
<05038>_,

nor torn
<07665> (8804)

the ass
<02543>_.

{torn: Heb. broken}

13:29

And the prophet
<05030>

took up
<05375> (8799)

the carcase
<05038>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and laid
<03240> (8686)

it upon the ass
<02543>_,

and brought it back
<07725> (8686)_:

and the old
<02205>

prophet
<05030>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_,

to mourn
<05594> (8800)

and to bury
<06912> (8800)

him.

13:30

And he laid
<03240> (8686)

his carcase
<05038>

in his own grave
<06913>_;

and they mourned
<05594> (8799)

over him, [saying], Alas
<01945>_,

my brother
<0251>_!

13:31

And it came to pass, after
<0310>

he had buried
<06912> (8800)

him, that he spake
<0559> (8799)

to his sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When I am dead
<04191> (8800)_,

then bury
<06912> (8804)

me in the sepulchre
<06913>

wherein the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

[is] buried
<06912> (8803)_;

lay
<03240> (8685)

my bones
<06106>

beside
<0681>

his bones
<06106>_:

13:32

For the saying
<01697>

which he cried
<07121> (8804)

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

against the altar
<04196>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and against all the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which [are] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

shall surely come to pass.

13:33

After
<0310>

this thing
<01697>

Jeroboam
<03379>

returned
<07725> (8804)

not from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_,

but made
<06213> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

of the lowest
<07098>

of the people
<05971>

priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_:

whosoever would
<02655>_,

he consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>

him, and he became [one] of the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_.

{made...: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated...: Heb. filled his hand}

13:34

And this thing
<01697>

became sin
<02403>

unto the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

even to cut [it] off
<03582> (8687)_,

and to destroy
<08045> (8687)

[it] from off the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

14:1

At that time
<06256>

Abijah
<029>

the son
<01121>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

fell sick
<02470> (8804)_.

14:2

And Jeroboam
<03379>

said
<0559> (8799)

to his wife
<0802>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

I pray thee, and disguise
<08138> (8690)

thyself, that thou be not known
<03045> (8799)

to be the wife
<0802>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_;

and get
<01980> (8804)

thee to Shiloh
<07887>_:

behold, there [is] Ahijah
<0281>

the prophet
<05030>_,

which told
<01696> (8765)

me that [I should be] king
<04428>

over this people
<05971>_.

14:3

And take
<03947> (8804)

with thee
<03027>

ten
<06235>

loaves
<03899>_,

and cracknels
<05350>_,

and a cruse
<01228>

of honey
<01706>_,

and go
<0935> (8804)

to him: he shall tell
<05046> (8686)

thee what shall become of the child
<05288>_.

{with...: Heb. in thine hand} {cracknels: or, cakes} {cruse: or, bottle}

14:4

And Jeroboam's
<03379>

wife
<0802>

did so
<06213> (8799)_,

and arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Shiloh
<07887>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of Ahijah
<0281>_.

But Ahijah
<0281>

could
<03201> (8804)

not see
<07200> (8800)_;

for his eyes
<05869>

were set
<06965> (8804)

by reason of his age
<07869>_.

{were...: Heb. stood for his hoariness}

14:5

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto Ahijah
<0281>_,

Behold, the wife
<0802>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

to ask
<01875> (8800)

a thing
<01697>

of thee for her son
<01121>_;

for he [is] sick
<02470> (8802)_:

thus
<02090>

and thus shalt thou say
<01696> (8762)

unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in
<0935> (8800)_,

that she shall feign herself [to be] another
<05234> (8693)

[woman].

14:6

And it was [so], when Ahijah
<0281>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the sound
<06963>

of her feet
<07272>_,

as she came in
<0935> (8802)

at the door
<06607>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Come in
<0935> (8798)_,

thou wife
<0802>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_;

why feignest thou thyself [to be] another
<05234> (8693)_?

for I [am] sent
<07971> (8803)

to thee [with] heavy
<07186>

[tidings]. {heavy: Heb. hard}

14:7

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

Jeroboam
<03379>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Forasmuch as
<03282>

I exalted
<07311> (8689)

thee from among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

thee prince
<05057>

over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

14:8

And rent
<07167> (0)

the kingdom
<04467>

away
<07167> (8799)

from the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>_,

who kept
<08104> (8804)

my commandments
<04687>_,

and who followed
<01980> (8804) <0310>

me with all his heart
<03824>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[that] only [which was] right
<03477>

in mine eyes
<05869>_;

14:9

But hast done
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07489> (8686)

above all that were before
<06440>

thee: for thou hast gone
<03212> (8799)

and made
<06213> (8799)

thee other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and molten images
<04541>_,

to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_,

and hast cast
<07993> (8689)

me behind
<0310>

thy back
<01458>_:

14:10

Therefore, behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Jeroboam
<03379>

him that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_,

[and] him that is shut up
<06113> (8803)

and left
<05800> (8803)

in Israel
<03478>_,

and will take away
<01197> (8765)

the remnant
<0310>

of the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

as a man taketh away
<01197> (8762)

dung
<01557>_,

till it be all gone
<08552> (8800)_.

14:11

Him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

of Jeroboam
<03379>

in the city
<05892>

shall the dogs
<03611>

eat
<0398> (8799)_;

and him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

in the field
<07704>

shall the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>

eat
<0398> (8799)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

14:12

Arise
<06965> (8798)

thou therefore, get
<03212> (8798)

thee to thine own house
<01004>_:

[and] when thy feet
<07272>

enter
<0935> (8800)

into the city
<05892>_,

the child
<03206>

shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

14:13

And all Israel
<03478>

shall mourn
<05594> (8804)

for him, and bury
<06912> (8804)

him: for he only of Jeroboam
<03379>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

to the grave
<06913>_,

because in him there is found
<04672> (8738)

[some] good
<02896>

thing
<01697>

toward the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

in the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_.

14:14

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

shall raise him up
<06965> (8689)

a king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

who shall cut off
<03772> (8686)

the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

that day
<03117>_:

but what? even now.

14:15

For the LORD
<03068>

shall smite
<05221> (8689)

Israel
<03478>_,

as a reed
<07070>

is shaken
<05110> (8799)

in the water
<04325>_,

and he shall root up
<05428> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

out of this good
<02896>

land
<0127>_,

which he gave
<05414> (8804)

to their fathers
<01>_,

and shall scatter
<02219> (8765)

them beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_,

because they have made
<06213> (8804)

their groves
<0842>_,

provoking the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8688)_.

14:16

And he shall give
<05414> (0)

Israel
<03478>

up
<05414> (8799)

because
<01558>

of the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

who did sin
<02398> (8804)_,

and who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

14:17

And Jeroboam's
<03379>

wife
<0802>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Tirzah
<08656>_:

[and] when she came
<0935> (8802)

to the threshold
<05592>

of the door
<01004>_,

the child
<05288>

died
<04191> (8804)_;

14:18

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him; and all Israel
<03478>

mourned
<05594> (8799)

for him, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of his servant
<05650>

Ahijah
<0281>

the prophet
<05030>_.

14:19

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

how he warred
<03898> (8738)_,

and how he reigned
<04427> (8804)_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:20

And the days
<03117>

which Jeroboam
<03379>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

[were] two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_:

and he slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and Nadab
<05070>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {slept: Heb. lay down}

14:21

And Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Judah
<03063>_.

Rehoboam
<07346>

[was] forty
<0705>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

seventeen
<07651> <06240>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the city
<05892>

which the LORD
<03068>

did choose
<0977> (8804)

out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to put
<07760> (8800)

his name
<08034>

there. And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Naamah
<05279>

an Ammonitess
<05985>_.

14:22

And Judah
<03063>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and they provoked him to jealousy
<07065> (8762)

with their sins
<02403>

which they had committed
<02398> (8804)_,

above all that their fathers
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

14:23

For they also built
<01129> (8799)

them high places
<01116>_,

and images
<04676>_,

and groves
<0842>_,

on every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_.

{images: or, standing images, or, statues}

14:24

And there were also sodomites
<06945>

in the land
<0776>_:

[and] they did
<06213> (8804)

according to all the abominations
<08441>

of the nations
<01471>

which the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:25

And it came to pass in the fifth
<02549>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>_,

[that] Shishak
<07895>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_:

14:26

And he took away
<03947> (8799)

the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_;

he even took away
<03947> (8804)

all: and he took away
<03947> (8799)

all the shields
<04043>

of gold
<02091>

which Solomon
<08010>

had made
<06213> (8804)_.

14:27

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

made
<06213> (8799)

in their stead brasen
<05178>

shields
<04043>_,

and committed
<06485> (8689)

[them] unto the hands
<03027>

of the chief
<08269>

of the guard
<07323> (8801)_,

which kept
<08104> (8802)

the door
<06607>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_.

{guard: Heb. runners}

14:28

And it was [so], when
<01767>

the king
<04428>

went
<0935> (8800)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that the guard
<07323> (8801)

bare
<05375> (8799)

them, and brought them back
<07725> (8689)

into the guard
<07323> (8801)

chamber
<08372>_.

14:29

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Rehoboam
<07346>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

14:30

And there was war
<04421>

between Rehoboam
<07346>

and Jeroboam
<03379>

all [their] days
<03117>_.

14:31

And Rehoboam
<07346>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Naamah
<05279>

an Ammonitess
<05985>_.

And Abijam
<038>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Abijam: also called, Abijah: Gr. Abia}
