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 Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16
And He shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned 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 spoke 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.
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 chose 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 for themselves high places, and images and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
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.
