11
Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.
12
Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.
13
And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.
14
And the Lord will put up a king over Israel who will send destruction on the family of Jeroboam in that day;
15
And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.
16
And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.
17
Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child.
18
And all Israel put his body to rest, weeping over him, as the Lord had said by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he became king, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
20
And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.
21
And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
