1 Kings 14:1-18

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>_.
