14. Moreover, the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam this day. From now on
15. The Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will root up Israel out of this good land which He gave to their fathers and will scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River, because they have made their Asherim [idolatrous symbols of the goddess Asherah], provoking the Lord to anger.
16. He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam which he has sinned and made Israel to sin.
17. So Jeroboam's wife departed and came to Tirzah. When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18. And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord spoken by His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19. 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. Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and he slept with his fathers; and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
