King James Version
At that time was
Abijah son of Jeroboam sick ,
At that time Abijah the
son of Jeroboam fell
sick .
and Jeroboam saith
to his wife, `Rise
, I pray thee, and change
thyself, and
they
know
not
that thou `art'
wife of Jeroboam ,
and thou
hast
gone
to Shiloh ;
lo
, there `
is '
Ahijah the prophet ;
he
spake
unto
me of
`being'
king over this people ;
And Jeroboam said
to his wife, Arise
, I pray thee, and disguise
thyself, that thou be
not
known
to
be
the
wife of Jeroboam ;
and get
thee
to Shiloh :
behold
, there is Ahijah the prophet ,
which
told
me that
I
should
be
king over this people .
and thou
hast
taken
in
thy
hand
ten loaves, and crumbs
, and a bottle
of honey, and hast
gone
in
unto
him ;
he doth
declare
to
thee what becometh
of the youth
. '
And take
with
thee
ten loaves, and cracknels
, and a cruse
of honey, and go
to
him :
he shall
tell
thee what shall
become
of the child
.
And the
wife of
Jeroboam
doth
so, and riseth
, and goeth
to Shiloh, and entereth
the house of Ahijah ,
and
Ahijah is
not able
to
see ,
for his eyes have
stood
because
of his age.
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 were
set
by
reason
of his age.
And Jehovah
said unto Ahijah, `Lo
, the wife of Jeroboam is
coming
to seek
a word
from
thee concerning
her son ,
for he is sick ;
thus and thus thou dost
speak
unto her ,
and
it cometh to
pass
at
her
coming
in, that she is
making
herself strange
. '
And the
LORD
said unto Ahijah, Behold
, the wife of Jeroboam cometh
to ask
a thing
of
thee for
her son ;
for he is sick :
thus and thus shalt
thou say
unto her :
for
it shall
be,
when
she
cometh in, that she shall
feign
herself to
be
another
woman
.
And it cometh
to
pass
, at
Ahijah's
hearing
the sound of her feet `
as '
she came in to
the opening
, that he saith
, `
Come in, wife of Jeroboam ,
why is
this
--
thou art
making
thyself strange
? and
I am sent unto
thee `
with '
a
sharp
thing:
And it was
so
, when
Ahijah
heard
the sound of her feet ,
as she came in at
the door
, that he said
, Come in, thou
wife of Jeroboam ;
why feignest
thou thyself to
be
another
? for
I am sent to
thee with heavy
tidings.
Go, say
to
Jeroboam, Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, Because
that
I have
made
thee high
out
of
the
midst
of
the people, and appoint
thee leader
over my people Israel,
Go, tell
Jeroboam, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, Forasmuch
as
I exalted
thee from
among
the people, and made
thee prince
over my people Israel,
and rend
the kingdom from the house of David, and give
it to
thee ,
--
and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands
, and who walked
after
Me with all his heart, to do only
that which `is'
right in Mine eyes ,
And rent
the kingdom away
from the house of David, and gave
it thee :
and yet
thou hast not been as my servant David ,
who kept my commandments
, and who followed
me with all his heart, to do that only
which was
right in mine eyes ;
and
thou
dost
evil above all who
have
been
before thee ,
and
goest,
and makest
to
thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me
thou
hast cast behind thy back:
But
hast
done
evil above all that
were
before thee :
for
thou
hast
gone
and made
thee other gods ,
and molten images ,
to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me
behind thy back:
`
Therefore, lo
, I am
bringing
in
evil unto
the house of Jeroboam, and have
cut off to
Jeroboam those
sitting
on
the wall --
shut up and left --
in Israel, and have
put
away the posterity
of the house of Jeroboam, as one
putteth
away the
dung till its
consumption;
Therefore, behold
, I will
bring
evil upon
the house of Jeroboam, and will
cut off from
Jeroboam him
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 dung ,
till it
be
all
gone.
him who
dieth of Jeroboam in a
city do
the dogs eat ,
and him who
dieth in a
field do
fowl
of the heavens
eat ,
for Jehovah
hath spoken.
Him that
dieth of Jeroboam in the
city shall
the dogs eat ;
and him that
dieth in the
field shall
the
fowls
of the air
eat :
for the
LORD
hath spoken it
.
`And
thou ,
rise
, go
to thy
house ;
in
the
going
in
of
thy feet to
the city --
hath
the lad
died;
Arise
thou therefore
, get
thee
to thine
own
house :
and
when
thy feet enter
into
the city ,
the child
shall
die.

mourned
for him, and buried
him ,

one

found
in him a
good thing towards
Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
in the house of Jeroboam.

mourn
for him, and bury

the
LORD
God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

hath
raised
up
for
Him a king over Israel who cutteth
off the house of Jeroboam this
day --
and
what? --
even now !

LORD
shall
raise
him up

And
Jehovah
hath
smitten
Israel as the
reed is moved
by
the waters
, and hath
plucked
Israel from
off
this good ground
that
He gave to their fathers, and scattered
them beyond the River, because that
they made their shrines
, provoking Jehovah
to anger ;
For
the
LORD
shall
smite
Israel ,
as a
reed is shaken
in
the water
, and he
shall
root
up
Israel out
of
this good land,
which
he gave to their fathers, and shall
scatter
them beyond the river, because they have
made their groves
, provoking the
LORD
to anger .

up
Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that
he
sinned
, and that
he
caused
Israel to sin. '
