1	At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick# .
			2	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.
			3	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. [with...: Heb. in thine hand] [cracknels: or, cakes] [cruse: or, bottle]
			4	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. [were...: Heb. stood for his hoariness]
			5	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 .
			6	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 . [heavy: Heb. hard]
			7	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,
			8	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;
			9	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:
			10	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# .
			11	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 .
			12	Arise# thou therefore, get# thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter# into the city, the child shall die# .
			13	And all Israel shall mourn# for him, and bury# him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come# to the grave, because in him there is found# some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
			14	Moreover the LORD shall raise him up# a king over Israel, who shall cut off# the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
			15	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# .
			16	And he shall give# Israel up# because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin# , and who made Israel to sin# .
			17	And Jeroboam's wife arose# , and departed# , and came# to Tirzah: and when she came# to the threshold of the door, the child died# ;
			18	And they buried# him; and all Israel mourned# for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake# by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
			19	And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred# , and how he reigned# , behold, they are written# in the book of the chronicles# of the kings of Israel.
			20	And the days which Jeroboam reigned# were two and twenty years: and he slept# with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned# in his stead. [slept: Heb. lay down]
			21	And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned# in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign# , and he reigned# seventeen# years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose# out of all the tribes of Israel, to put# his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
			22	And Judah did# evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy# with their sins which they had committed# , above all that their fathers had done# .
			23	For they also built# them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. [images: or, standing images, or, statues]
			24	And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did# according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out# before the children of Israel.
			25	And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up# against Jerusalem:
			26	And 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 Solomon had made# .
			27	And king Rehoboam made# in their stead brasen shields, and committed# them unto the hands of the chief of the guard# , which kept# the door of the king's house. [guard: Heb. runners]
			28	And it was so , when the king went# into the house of the LORD, that the guard# bare# them, and brought them back# into the guard# chamber.
			29	Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did# , are they not written# in the book of the chronicles# of the kings of Judah?
			30	And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
			31	And Rehoboam slept# with his fathers, and was buried# with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned# in his stead. [Abijam: also called, Abijah: Gr. Abia]
