16
He will give Yisra'el up because of the sins of Yarov`am, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Yisra'el to sin.
17
Yarov`am's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirtzah: [and] as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18
All Yisra'el buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Achiyah the prophet.
19
The rest of the acts of Yarov`am, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el.
20
The days which Yarov`am reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadav his son reigned in his place.
21
Rechav`am the son of Shlomo reigned in Yehudah. Rechav`am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Yisra'el, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Na`amah the `Ammonite.
22
Yehudah did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23
For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
24
and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Yisra'el.
25
It happened in the fifth year of king Rechav`am, that Shishak king of Mitzrayim came up against Yerushalayim;
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 Shlomo had made.
