Young's Literal Translation
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became
ill
,
At that time was
Abijah son of Jeroboam sick
,
and Jeroboam said
to his wife, “Now
get
up
, disguise
yourself
so
they will
not recognize
you
as
my
wife, and go
to Shiloh .
For
Ahijah the prophet is
there
; it
was
he who
spoke
about
my
kingship
over this people .
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 ;
Take
with
you
ten loaves of
bread
, some
cakes
, and a jar
of honey, and go
to
him .
He will
tell
you
what will
become
of the boy
. ”
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
. '
Jeroboam’s
wife did
as
instructed;
she
arose
and went
to Shiloh and arrived
at
Ahijah’s
house .
Now
Ahijah could
not see, for his eyes were
dim
because of his age.
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.
But
the
LORD
had
said to
Ahijah, “Behold
, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask
you
about
her son, for he is ill.
You
are
to
say
such
and such
to
her, because
when
she
arrives
, she will
be
disguised
. ”
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
. '
So
when
Ahijah
heard
the sound of her feet entering
the door
, he said
, “
Come in, wife of Jeroboam !
Why are
you
disguised
? For
I have
been
sent to
you
with bad
news.
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:
Go, tell
Jeroboam that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘
I raised
you
up
from
among
the people and appointed
you
ruler
over My people Israel .
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 ,
I
tore
the kingdom away
from the house of David and gave
it to you.
But
you
were
not like
My servant David ,
who kept My commandments
and followed
Me with all his heart, doing
only what
was
right in My
eyes .
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 ,
You
have
done
more
evil than
all who came
before
you.
You
have proceeded
to make
for
yourself
other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you
have
flung
Me behind your
back .
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 :
Because
of
all
this
, behold
, I am bringing disaster
on
the house of Jeroboam :
I
will
cut off from
Jeroboam every
male,
both
slave
and free,
in Israel ;
I
will
burn
up
the house of Jeroboam as one burns
up
dung until
it
is
gone!
`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;
Anyone
belonging
to
Jeroboam
who dies
in the
city will
be
eaten
by
dogs, and anyone
who dies
in the
field will
be
eaten
by
the
birds
of the air.’
For the
LORD
has
spoken.
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.
As
for
you,
get
up
and go home.
When
your
feet enter
the city ,
the child
will
die.
`
And thou,
rise,
go to
thy
house;
in
the
going
in
of
thy
feet to
the city --
hath
the lad
died;
All Israel will
mourn
for him and bury
him .
For this is
the
only
one belonging
to
Jeroboam who
will
receive
a proper
burial
, because only
in him has
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, found
any
good
in the house of Jeroboam.
and
all Israel have
mourned
for him ,
and buried
him ,
for this one --
by
himself
--
cometh
of
Jeroboam unto
a grave
, because there
hath
been
found
in him a
good
thing
towards
Jehovah
, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Moreover,
the
LORD
will
raise
up for Himself
a king over Israel who will
cut
off the house of Jeroboam .
This is
the
day —yes,
even today
!
`And
Jehovah
hath
raised
up for Him
a king over Israel who cutteth
off the house of Jeroboam this day --
and
what?
--
even now
!
For
the
LORD
will
strike
Israel as a
reed is shaken
in
the water.
He
will
uproot
Israel from this good land
that He gave their fathers, and He
will
scatter
them beyond the Euphrates
, because they have
made their Asherah
poles
, provoking the
LORD
to anger .
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 ;
So
He will
give
Israel over
on
account
of the sins Jeroboam has
committed
and has
caused Israel to commit
. ”
and
He giveth
up
Israel because
of the sins of
Jeroboam that
he
sinned,
and that
he
caused Israel to sin
. '
Then
Jeroboam’s
wife got
up
and departed
for
Tirzah
, and as
soon
as
she stepped
over
the threshold of the house, the boy
died.
And
the
wife of
Jeroboam
riseth,
and goeth
, and cometh
to
Tirzah;
she hath
come
in
to
the threshold of the house, and
the youth
dieth;
And they buried
him, and all
Israel
mourned
for him, according to the word that the LORD
had
spoken
through
His servant Ahijah the prophet.
and they bury
him, and mourn
for him do
all
Israel
, according to the word of
Jehovah,
that he
spake
by
the hand
of
His servant Ahijah the prophet.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Jeroboam, how he waged
war
and how he reigned, they are indeed
written in
the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
And
the rest of the matters
of Jeroboam, how he fought,
and how he reigned, lo,
they are written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
And the length
of
Jeroboam’s
reign
was
twenty -
two years, and he rested
with his fathers, and his son Nadab
reigned
in his place
.
And the days
that
Jeroboam
reigned
`are'
twenty and
two years, and he lieth
with his fathers, and reign
doth
Nadab
his son in his stead
.
Meanwhile,
Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah .
He
was
forty -
one years old
when
he
became
king
, and he
reigned
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the
LORD
had
chosen
from
all the tribes of Israel in
which
to
put
His
Name .
His mother’s
name
was
Naamah the Ammonite
.
And
Rehoboam son of Solomon hath
reigned in Judah ;
a
son
of
forty and
one years `is'
Rehoboam
in
his
reigning
, and seventeen years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem, the city that
Jehovah
chose
to
set
His
name
there,
out
of
all the tribes of Israel ,
and
the
name of
his mother
`is'
Naamah the Ammonitess
.
And Judah did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, and by
the
sins
they committed
they
provoked
Him to
jealous
anger
more
than
all their fathers had
done
.
And Judah doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, and they make
Him zealous
above
all that
their fathers did
by
their
sins
that
they
have
sinned
.
They also built
for themselves high places, sacred
pillars, and Asherah
poles
on every high hill
and under every green tree .
And
they build
--
also they
--
for themselves high places, and
standing-
pillars, and shrines,
on every high height,
and under every green tree ;
There
were
even
male
shrine
prostitutes
in the land .
They imitated
all the abominations of the nations the LORD
had
driven
out
before
the Israelites
.
and
also
a
whoremonger
hath
been
in the land ;
they have
done
according
to
all the abominations of the nations that
Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of
Israel
.
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s
reign
, Shishak king of Egypt came
up
and
attacked
Jerusalem .
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam
, gone
up
hath
Shishak king of Egypt against
Jerusalem ,
He seized
the treasures of the house of the
LORD
and of the royal
palace.
He
took
everything
, including
all the gold
shields that Solomon had
made.
and
he taketh
the treasures of the house of Jehovah,
and the
treasures
of the house
of
the
king
, yea,
the
whole
he
hath
taken;
and
he
taketh
all the shields of
gold
that Solomon made.
Then
King Rehoboam made
bronze
shields
in their place
and committed
them to
the care
of the captains
of the guard
on
duty
at
the entrance
to
the royal
palace.
And
king Rehoboam maketh
in their stead
shields
of
brass,
and hath
made
`
them '
a
charge
on
the hand
of the heads
of the runners,
those
keeping
the opening
of
the house
of
the
king,
And whenever
the king entered
the house of the
LORD
, the guards
would
bear the
shields
, and later
they
would
return
them to
the guardroom
.
and it
cometh
to
pass,
from
the going
in
of
the
king to
the house of Jehovah
, the runners
bear them
, and have
brought
them back
unto
the chamber
of
the
runners
.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Rehoboam, along
with
all that he did, are they not written in
the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And
the rest of the matters
of Rehoboam, and
all that he did, are they not written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
There
was
war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout
their
days .
And
war hath
been
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all
the
days ;
And Rehoboam rested
with his fathers and was
buried with them
in the City of David ;
his
mother’s
name was
Naamah the Ammonite.
And his son Abijam
reigned
in his place
.
and Rehoboam lieth
with his fathers ,
and is
buried with his
fathers,
in the city of David ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Naamah the Ammonitess,
and reign
doth
Abijam
his son in his stead
.
