1 Kings 14:16

And he shall give Israel up
Into the hands of their enemies:

sin;
by his devices and stratagems, by his example and edicts, and by the methods he took to prevent Israel from worshipping in the manner and place he directed to.

14 For this reason the LORD will raise up a king over Israel who will eliminate the house of Jeroboam. This begins today. What's that? Even now!

15 The LORD will strike Israel so that it shakes like a reed in water. He will uproot Israel from this fertile land that he gave to their ancestors and their offspring, and he will scatter them across the Euphrates River, because they made the LORD angry by making their sacred poles.

16 Because of the sins Jeroboam committed, and because he made Israel sin too, God will give Israel up."

17 Then Jeroboam's wife left and went to Tirzah. When she stepped across the threshold of the house, the boy died.

18 All Israel buried him and mourned him in agreement with the LORD's word spoken through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
