Ahijah Prophesies against the King

1Ki 14:1At that time Aviyah the son of Yarov`am fell sick.

1Ki 14:2Yarov`am said to his wife, Please get up and disguise yourself, that you not be known to be the wife of Yarov`am; and get you to Shiloh: behold, there is Achiyah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

1Ki 14:3

1Ki 14:3Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him: he will tell you what shall become of the child.

1Ki 14:4

1Ki 14:4Yarov`am's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Achiyah. Now Achiyah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

1Ki 14:5

1Ki 14:5The LORD said to Achiyah, Behold, the wife of Yarov`am comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shall you tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.

1Ki 14:6

1Ki 14:6It was so, when Achiyah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, you wife of Yarov`am; why feign you yourself to be another? for I am sent to you with heavy news.

1Ki 14:7

1Ki 14:7Go, tell Yarov`am, Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el: Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Yisra'el,

1Ki 14:8

1Ki 14:8and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my mitzvot, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

1Ki 14:9

1Ki 14:9but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

1Ki 14:10

1Ki 14:10therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Yarov`am, and will cut off from Yarov`am every man-child, him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Yisra'el, and will utterly sweep away the house of Yarov`am, as a man sweeps away dung, until it be all gone.

1Ki 14:11

1Ki 14:11Him who dies of Yarov`am in the city shall the dogs eat; and him who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for the LORD has spoken it.

1Ki 14:12

1Ki 14:12Arise you therefore, get you to your house: and when your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

1Ki 14:13

1Ki 14:13All Yisra'el shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Yarov`am shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, in the house of Yarov`am.

1Ki 14:14

1Ki 14:14Moreover the LORD will raise him up a king over Yisra'el, who shall cut off the house of Yarov`am that day: but what? even now.

1Ki 14:15

1Ki 14:15For the LORD will strike Yisra'el, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Yisra'el out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger.

1Ki 14:16

1Ki 14:16He will give Yisra'el up because of the sins of Yarov`am, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Yisra'el to sin.

1Ki 14:17

1Ki 14:17Yarov`am's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirtzah: and as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

1Ki 14:18

1Ki 14:18All Yisra'el buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Achiyah the prophet.

1Ki 14:19

1Ki 14:19The rest of the acts of Yarov`am, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el.

1Ki 14:20

1Ki 14:20The days which Yarov`am reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadav his son reigned in his place.

1Ki 14:21

1Ki 14:21Rechav`am the son of Shlomo reigned in Yehudah. Rechav`am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Yisra'el, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Na`amah the `Ammonite.

1Ki 14:22

1Ki 14:23For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

1Ki 14:24

1Ki 14:24and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Yisra'el.

1Ki 14:25

1Ki 14:25It happened in the fifth year of king Rechav`am, that Shishak king of Mitzrayim came up against Yerushalayim;

1Ki 14:26

1Ki 14:26and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Shlomo had made.

1Ki 14:27

1Ki 14:27King Rechav`am made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

1Ki 14:28

1Ki 14:28It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.

1Ki 14:29

1Ki 14:29Now the rest of the acts of Rechav`am, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?

1Ki 14:31

1Ki 14:31Rechav`am slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother's name was Na`amah the `Ammonite. Aviyam his son reigned in his place.
