1 At that time 6256 Abijah 29 the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 fell sick 2470.
2 And Jeroboam 3379 said 559 to his wife 802, Arise 6965, I pray thee, and disguise 8138 thyself, that thou be not known 3045 to be the wife 802 of Jeroboam 3379; and get 1980 thee to Shiloh 7887: behold, there is Ahijah 281 the prophet 5030, which told 1696 me that I should be king 4428 over this people 5971.
3 And take 3947 with thee 3027 ten 6235 loaves 3899, and cracknels 5350, and a cruse 1228 of honey 1706, and go 935 to him: he shall tell 5046 thee what shall become of the child 5288.
4 And Jeroboam's 3379 wife 802 did so 6213, and arose 6965, and went 3212 to Shiloh 7887, and came 935 to the house 1004 of Ahijah 281. But Ahijah 281 could 3201 not see 7200; for his eyes 5869 were set 6965 by reason of his age 7869.
5 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Ahijah 281, Behold, the wife 802 of Jeroboam 3379 cometh 935 to ask 1875 a thing 1697 of thee for her son 1121; for he is sick 2470: thus 2090 and thus shalt thou say 1696 unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in 935, that she shall feign herself to be another 5234 woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah 281 heard 8085 the sound 6963 of her feet 7272, as she came in 935 at the door 6607, that he said 559, Come in 935, thou wife 802 of Jeroboam 3379; why feignest thou thyself to be another 5234? for I am sent 7971 to thee with heavy 7186 tidings.
7 Go 3212, tell 559 Jeroboam 3379, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Forasmuch as 3282 I exalted 7311 thee from among 8432 the people 5971, and made 5414 thee prince 5057 over my people 5971 Israel 3478,
8 And rent 7167 0 the kingdom 4467 away 7167 from the house 1004 of David 1732, and gave 5414 it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant 5650 David 1732, who kept 8104 my commandments 4687, and who followed 1980 310 me with all his heart 3824, to do 6213 that only which was right 3477 in mine eyes 5869;
9 But hast done 6213 evil 7489 above all that were before 6440 thee: for thou hast gone 3212 and made 6213 thee other 312 gods 430, and molten images 4541, to provoke me to anger 3707, and hast cast 7993 me behind 310 thy back 1458:
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, and will cut off 3772 from Jeroboam 3379 him that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023, and him that is shut up 6113 and left 5800 in Israel 3478, and will take away 1197 the remnant 310 of the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, as a man taketh away 1197 dung 1557, till it be all gone 8552.
11 Him that dieth 4191 of Jeroboam 3379 in the city 5892 shall the dogs 3611 eat 398; and him that dieth 4191 in the field 7704 shall the fowls 5775 of the air 8064 eat 398: for the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 it.
12 Arise 6965 thou therefore, get 3212 thee to thine own house 1004: and when thy feet 7272 enter 935 into the city 5892, the child 3206 shall die 4191.
13 And all Israel 3478 shall mourn 5594 for him, and bury 6912 him: for he only of Jeroboam 3379 shall come 935 to the grave 6913, because in him there is found 4672 some good 2896 thing 1697 toward the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 in the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379.
14 Moreover the LORD 3068 shall raise him up 6965 a king 4428 over Israel 3478, who shall cut off 3772 the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 that day 3117: but what? even now.
15 For the LORD 3068 shall smite 5221 Israel 3478, as a reed 7070 is shaken 5110 in the water 4325, and he shall root up 5428 Israel 3478 out of this good 2896 land 127, which he gave 5414 to their fathers 1, and shall scatter 2219 them beyond 5676 the river 5104, because they have made 6213 their groves 842, provoking the LORD 3068 to anger 3707.
16 And he shall give 5414 0 Israel 3478 up 5414 because 1558 of the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379, who did sin 2398, and who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398.
17 And Jeroboam's 3379 wife 802 arose 6965, and departed 3212, and came 935 to Tirzah 8656: and when she came 935 to the threshold 5592 of the door 1004, the child 5288 died 4191;
18 And they buried 6912 him; and all Israel 3478 mourned 5594 for him, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he spake 1696 by the hand 3027 of his servant 5650 Ahijah 281 the prophet 5030.
19 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jeroboam 3379, how he warred 3898, and how he reigned 4427, behold, they are written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.
20 And the days 3117 which Jeroboam 3379 reigned 4427 were two 8147 and twenty 6242 years 8141: and he slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and Nadab 5070 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
21 And Rehoboam 7346 the son 1121 of Solomon 8010 reigned 4427 in Judah 3063. Rehoboam 7346 was forty 705 and one 259 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427, and he reigned 4427 seventeen 7651 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389, the city 5892 which the LORD 3068 did choose 977 out of all the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, to put 7760 his name 8034 there. And his mother's 517 name 8034 was Naamah 5279 an Ammonitess 5985.
22 And Judah 3063 did 6213 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and they provoked him to jealousy 7065 with their sins 2403 which they had committed 2398, above all that their fathers 1 had done 6213.
23 For they also built 1129 them high places 1116, and images 4676, and groves 842, on every high 1364 hill 1389, and under every green 7488 tree 6086.
24 And there were also sodomites 6945 in the land 776: and they did 6213 according to all the abominations 8441 of the nations 1471 which the LORD 3068 cast out 3423 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth 2549 year 8141 of king 4428 Rehoboam 7346, that Shishak 7895 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came up 5927 against Jerusalem 3389:
26 And he took away 3947 the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house 1004; he even took away 3947 all: and he took away 3947 all the shields 4043 of gold 2091 which Solomon 8010 had made 6213.
27 And king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 made 6213 in their stead brasen 5178 shields 4043, and committed 6485 them unto the hands 3027 of the chief 8269 of the guard 7323, which kept 8104 the door 6607 of the king's 4428 house 1004.
28 And it was so, when 1767 the king 4428 went 935 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, that the guard 7323 bare 5375 them, and brought them back 7725 into the guard 7323 chamber 8372.
29 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Rehoboam 7346, and all that he did 6213, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?
30 And there was war 4421 between Rehoboam 7346 and Jeroboam 3379 all their days 3117.
31 And Rehoboam 7346 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732. And his mother's 517 name 8034 was Naamah 5279 an Ammonitess 5985. And Abijam 38 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
