10
therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam and will cut off from Jeroboam
everyone that pisses against the wall, the one that is shut up along with the one that is left in Israel, and will burn away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man burns away dung until it is all gone.
11
The one that dies of
those of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat, and the one that dies in the field, the fowls of the air shall eat; for the LORD has spoken
it.
12
Arise thou, therefore, go to thy own house,
and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13
And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he only of those of Jeroboam shall enter into
the grave because in him there is found
some good thing of the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14
And the LORD shall raise up a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam in this day, but what
if even now?
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 had given to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
16
And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who has made Israel sin.
17
Then Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed and came to Tirzah;
and as she entered by the threshold of the house, the child died.
18
And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he had spoken by the hand of his slave 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 twenty-two years, and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead.
