1 Kings 14

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 At that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.

2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Now come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king over this people.

3 And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

4 So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

5 And the Lord had said to Ahijah, The wife of Jeroboam is coming to get news from you about her son, who is ill; give her such and such an answer; for she will make herself seem to be another woman.

6 Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.

7 Go, say to Jeroboam, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: Though I took you from among the people, lifting you up to be a ruler over my people Israel,

8 And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

9 But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

10 So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

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.

22 And Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and made him more angry than their fathers had done by their sins.

23 For they made high places and upright stones and wood pillars on every high hill and under every green tree;

24 And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

25 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

26 And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

27 So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

28 And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

31 And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

1 4 At that time Aviyah Ben Yarov`am fell sick.

2 And Yarov‘am said to his isha, Arise, now, and disguise thyself, that thou be not recognized to be eshet Yarov‘am; and get thee to Shiloh; hinei, there is Achiyah HaNavi, which told me that I should be melech over this people.

3 And take with thee asarah lechem, and nikkudim (wafers), and a bakbuk (bottle) of devash, and go to him; he shall tell thee what shall become of the na’ar.

4 And eshet Yarov’am did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the bais Achiyah. But Achiyah could not see; for his eyes had ceased by reason of his seiv (old age).

5 And Hashem said unto Achiyah, Hinei, the eshet Yarov‘am cometh to seek davar from thee for her ben; for he is choleh (ill); thus and thus shalt thou give davar unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be a stranger woman.

6 And it was so, when Achiyah heard the sound of her raglayim, as she came to the petach, that he said, Come in, thou eshet Yarov‘am; why feignest thou to be a stranger woman? For I am sent to thee with kashah (a harsh prophetic foresight).

7 Go, tell Yarov‘am, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee nagid over My people Yisroel,

8 And tore the Kingdom from the Bais Dovid, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as Avdi Dovid, who was shomer over My mitzvot, and who followed after Me with all his lev, to do only yashar in Mine eyes;

9 But hast done rah more than all that were before thee; for thou hast gone and made for thee elohim acherim, and massekhot (metal idols), to provoke Me to anger, and hast thrust Me behind thy gav (back);

10 Therefore, hineni, I will bring ra’ah upon the Bais Yarov‘am, and will cut off from Yarov‘am mashtin b’kir (him that urinates against the wall, i.e., every male), atzur (bond) or azuv (free) in Yisroel, and I will sweep out after the Bais Yarov’am just as one sweepeth out the dung, till it be all gone.

11 Him that dieth of Yarov‘am in the Ir shall the kelavim (dogs) eat; and him that dieth in the sadeh shall the oph haShomayim eat; for Hashem hath spoken.

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own bais; and when thy raglayim enter into the Ir (city, i.e. Tirtzah), the yeled shall die.

13 And kol Yisroel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Yarov‘am shall come to the kever (grave), because in him there is found some davar tov (good thing) toward Hashem Elohei Yisroel in the Bais Yarov‘am.

14 Moreover Hashem shall raise Him up a Melech over Yisroel, who shall cut off the Bais Yarov‘am even this day. This is the day! [See 1Kgs 15:27-29.] Even now.

15 For Hashem shall strike Yisroel, just as the kaneh (reed), is shaken in the mayim, and He shall uproot Yisroel out of this adamah hatovah, which He gave to Avoteihem, and shall scatter them beyond the Nahar (River, i.e., the Euphrates) because they have made their Ashera idols, provoking Hashem to anger.

16 And He shall give up Yisroel because of the chattot Yarov‘am, who did sin, and who made Yisroel to sin.

17 And eshet Yarov’am arose, and departed, and came to Tirtzah; and when she came to the saf HaBayit (the treshold of the house), the na’ar died.

18 And they buried him; and kol Yisroel mourned for him, according to the Devar Hashem, which He spoke by the yad of his eved Achiyah HaNavi.

19 And the rest of the acts of Yarov‘am, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel.

20 And the yamim (days) which Yarov‘am reigned were two and twenty shanah; and he slept with his avot, and Nadav bno reigned in his place.

21 And Rechav‘am Ben Sh’lomo reigned in Yehudah. Rechav‘am was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the Ir which Hashem did choose out of kol Shivtei Yisroel, to put Shmo there. And shem immo was Naamah HaAmmonit (an Ammonitess).

22 And Yehudah did the rah in the eyes of Hashem, and they provoked Him to kina (jealousy) with their chattot which they had committed, which were more than all that their avot had done.

23 For they also built them [idolatrous] high places, and matzevot (idol images), and Asherim [Canaanite female nature idols] on every high hill, and under every thickly foliaged green tree.

24 And there were also kadesh (male and female cult prostitutes) in the land; and they did according to all the to’avot (abominations) of the Goyim which Hashem drove out before the Bnei Yisroel.

25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Melech Rechav‘am, that Shishak Melech Mitzrayim came up against Yerushalayim;

26 And he carried away the otzarot of the Beis Hashem, and the otzarot of the Bais HaMelech; he even carried away everything: and he carried away all the moginnim (shields) of zahav which Sh’lomo had made.

27 And Melech Rechav‘am made in their place moginnim of nechoshet, and committed them unto the hands of the commanders of the guard, which were the shomrim at the petach of the Bais HaMelech.

28 And it was so, when HaMelech went into the Beis Hashem, that those on guard duty bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

29 Now the rest of the acts of Rechav‘am, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yehudah?

30 And there was milchamah between Rechav‘am and Yarov‘am all their yamim (days).

31 And Rechav‘am slept with his avot, and was buried with his avot in Ir Dovid. And the shem immo was Na’amah HaAmmonit (an Ammonite). And Aviyam bno reigned in his place.[T.N. 1Kgs 15:2,10 refers to [grand] daughter.]
