1 Kings 14

1 Abijah being sick, Jeroboam sendeth his wife disguised with presents to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh. 5 Ahijah, forewarned by God, denounceth God's judgment. 17 Abijah dieth, and is buried. 19 Nabab succeedeth Jeroboam. 21 Rehoboam's wicked reign. 25 Shishak spoileth Jerusalem. 29 Abijam succeedeth Rehoboam.

 14:1 ¶ At that x1931 time 6256 Abijah 29 the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 fell sick. 2470 z8804

 14:2 And Jeroboam 3379 said 559 z8799 to his wife, 802 Arise, 6965 z8798 I pray thee, x4994 and disguise y8138 z8690 thyself, x8138 that x3588 thou x859 be not x3808 known 3045 z8799 to be the wife 802 of Jeroboam; 3379 and get 1980 z8804 thee to Shiloh: 7887 behold, x2009 there x8033 [is] Ahijah 281 the prophet, 5030 which x1931 told 1696 z8765 x5921 me that [I should be] king 4428 over x5921 this x2088 people. 5971

 14:3 And take 3947 z8804 with x3027 thee y3027 ten 6235 loaves, 3899 and cracknels, 5350 and a cruse 1228 of honey, 1706 and go 935 z8804 to x413 him: he x1931 shall tell 5046 z8686 thee what x4100 shall become x1961 of the child. 5288

 14:4 And Jeroboam's 3379 wife 802 did x6213 so, y6213 z8799 x3651 and arose, 6965 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Shiloh, 7887 and came 935 z8799 to the house 1004 of Ahijah. 281 But Ahijah 281 could 3201 z8804 not x3808 see; 7200 z8800 for x3588 his eyes 5869 were set 6965 z8804 by reason of his age. 7869 x4480

 14:5 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8804 unto x413 Ahijah, 281 Behold, x2009 the wife 802 of Jeroboam 3379 cometh 935 z8802 to ask 1875 z8800 a thing 1697 of x4480 x5973 thee for x413 her son; 1121 for x3588 he x1931 [is] sick: 2470 z8802 thus 2090 and thus x2088 shalt thou say 1696 z8762 unto x413 her: for it shall be, x1961 when she cometh in, 935 z8800 that she x1931 shall feign herself [to be] another y5234 z8693 [woman]. x5234

 14:6 And it was x1961 [so], when Ahijah 281 heard 8085 z8800 x853 the sound 6963 of her feet, 7272 as she came in 935 z8802 at the door, 6607 that he said, 559 z8799 Come in, 935 z8798 thou wife 802 of Jeroboam; 3379 why x4100 x2088 feignest thou thyself [to be] another? 5234 z8693 x859 for I x595 [am] sent 7971 z8803 to x413 thee [with] heavy 7186 [tidings].

 14:7 Go, y3212 z8798 x1980 tell 559 z8798 Jeroboam, 3379 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Forasmuch x3282 x834 as y3282 I exalted 7311 z8689 thee from among 8432 x4480 the people, 5971 and made 5414 z8799 thee prince 5057 over x5921 my people 5971 Israel, 3478

 14:8 And rent 7167 z0 x853 the kingdom 4467 away y7167 z8799 from the house 1004 x4480 of David, 1732 and gave 5414 z8799 it thee: and [yet] thou hast not x3808 been x1961 as my servant 5650 David, 1732 who x834 kept 8104 z8804 my commandments, 4687 and who x834 followed 1980 310 z8804 me with all x3605 his heart, 3824 to do 6213 z8800 [that] only x7535 [which was] right 3477 in mine eyes; 5869

 14:9 But hast done 6213 z8800 evil 7489 z8686 above all x4480 x3605 that x834 were x1961 before 6440 thee: for thou hast gone y3212 z8799 x1980 and made 6213 z8799 thee other 312 gods, 430 and molten images, 4541 to provoke me to anger, 3707 z8687 and hast cast 7993 z8689 me behind 310 thy back: 1458

 14:10 Therefore, x3651 behold, x2009 I will bring 935 z8688 evil 7451 upon x413 the house 1004 of Jeroboam, 3379 and will cut off 3772 z8689 from Jeroboam 3379 him that pisseth 8366 z8688 against the wall, 7023 [and] him that is shut up 6113 z8803 and left 5800 z8803 in Israel, 3478 and will take away 1197 z8765 the remnant 310 of the house 1004 of Jeroboam, 3379 as x834 a man taketh away 1197 z8762 dung, 1557 till x5704 it be all gone. 8552 z8800

 14:11 Him that dieth 4191 z8801 of Jeroboam 3379 in the city 5892 shall the dogs 3611 eat; 398 z8799 and him that dieth 4191 z8801 in the field 7704 shall the fowls 5775 of the air 8064 eat: 398 z8799 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 z8765 [it].

 14:12 Arise 6965 z8798 thou x859 therefore, get y3212 z8798 x1980 thee to thine own house: 1004 [and] when thy feet 7272 enter 935 z8800 into the city, 5892 the child 3206 shall die. 4191 z8804

 14:13 And all x3605 Israel 3478 shall mourn 5594 z8804 for him, and bury 6912 z8804 him: for x3588 x2088 he only x905 of Jeroboam 3379 shall come 935 z8799 to x413 the grave, 6913 because x3282 in him there is found 4672 z8738 [some] good 2896 thing 1697 toward x413 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 in the house 1004 of Jeroboam. 3379

 14:14 Moreover the LORD 3068 shall raise him up 6965 z8689 a king 4428 over x5921 Israel, 3478 who x834 shall cut off 3772 z8686 x853 the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 that x2088 day: 3117 but what? x4100 even x1571 now. x6258

 14:15 For the LORD 3068 shall smite 5221 z8689 x853 Israel, 3478 as x834 a reed 7070 is shaken 5110 z8799 in the water, 4325 and he shall root up 5428 z8804 x853 Israel 3478 out of x4480 x5921 this x2063 good 2896 land, 127 which x834 he gave 5414 z8804 to their fathers, 1 and shall scatter 2219 z8765 them beyond 5676 x4480 the river, 5104 because x3282 x834 they have made 6213 z8804 x853 their groves, 842 provoking the LORD y3068 to anger. 3707 z8688 x853 x3068

 14:16 And he shall give y5414 z0 Israel y3478 up 5414 z8799 x853 x3478 because 1558 of the sins 2403 of Jeroboam, 3379 who x834 did sin, 2398 z8804 and who x834 made Israel y3478 to sin. 2398 z8689 x853 x3478

 14:17 ¶ And Jeroboam's 3379 wife 802 arose, 6965 z8799 and departed, y3212 z8799 x1980 and came 935 z8799 to Tirzah: 8656 [and] when she x1931 came 935 z8802 to the threshold 5592 of the door, 1004 the child 5288 died; 4191 z8804

 14:18 And they buried 6912 z8799 him; and all x3605 Israel 3478 mourned 5594 z8799 for him, according to the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by the hand 3027 of his servant 5650 Ahijah 281 the prophet. 5030

 14:19 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jeroboam, 3379 how x834 he warred, 3898 z8738 and how x834 he reigned, 4427 z8804 behold, x2009 they [are] written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel. 3478

 14:20 And the days 3117 which x834 Jeroboam 3379 reigned 4427 z8804 [were] two 8147 and twenty 6242 years: 8141 and he slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and Nadab 5070 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 14:21 ¶ And Rehoboam 7346 the son 1121 of Solomon 8010 reigned 4427 z8804 in Judah. 3063 Rehoboam 7346 [was] forty 705 and one 259 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign, 4427 z8800 and he reigned 4427 z8804 seventeen 7651 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem, 3389 the city 5892 which x834 the LORD 3068 did choose 977 z8804 out of all x4480 x3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 to put 7760 z8800 x853 his name 8034 there. x8033 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Naamah 5279 an Ammonitess. y5985 x5984

 14:22 And Judah 3063 did 6213 z8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and they provoked him to jealousy 7065 z8762 x853 with their sins 2403 which x834 they had committed, 2398 z8804 above all x4480 x3605 that x834 their fathers 1 had done. 6213 z8804

 14:23 For they x1992 also x1571 built 1129 z8799 them high places, 1116 and images, 4676 and groves, 842 on x5921 every x3605 high 1364 hill, 1389 and under x8478 every x3605 green 7488 tree. 6086

 14:24 And there were x1961 also x1571 sodomites 6945 in the land: 776 [and] they did 6213 z8804 according to all x3605 the abominations 8441 of the nations 1471 which x834 the LORD 3068 cast out 3423 z8689 before 6440 x4480 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 14:25 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 in the fifth 2549 year 8141 of king 4428 Rehoboam, 7346 [that] Shishak 7895 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came up 5927 z8804 against x5921 Jerusalem: 3389

 14:26 And he took away 3947 z8799 x853 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 z8804 all: x3605 and he took away 3947 z8799 x853 all x3605 the shields 4043 of gold 2091 which x834 Solomon 8010 had made. 6213 z8804

 14:27 And king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 made 6213 z8799 in their stead x8478 brasen 5178 shields, 4043 and committed 6485 z8689 [them] unto x5921 the hands 3027 of the chief 8269 of the guard, 7323 z8801 which kept 8104 z8802 the door 6607 of the king's 4428 house. 1004

 14:28 And it was x1961 [so], when 1767 x4480 the king 4428 went 935 z8800 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 that the guard 7323 z8801 bare 5375 z8799 them, and brought them back 7725 z8689 into x413 the guard 7323 z8801 chamber. 8372

 14:29 ¶ Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Rehoboam, 7346 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah? 3063

 14:30 And there was x1961 war 4421 between x996 Rehoboam 7346 and Jeroboam 3379 all x3605 [their] days. 3117

 14:31 And Rehoboam 7346 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 with x5973 his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David. 1732 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Naamah 5279 an Ammonitess. y5985 x5984 And Abijam 38 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478
