12. Now you, arise, go to your house. When your feet enter the city the child will die.
13. All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's family will come to the grave, because in him something good was found toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14. Moreover, the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.
15. "For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will uproot Israel from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the Lord to anger.
16. He will give up Israel on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he committed and with which he made Israel to sin."
17. Then Jeroboam's wife arose and departed and came to Tirzah. As she was entering the threshold of the house, the child died.
18. All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19. Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20. The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
21. Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
22. Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done, with the sins which they committed.
23. For they also built for themselves high places and sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree.
24. There were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
25. Now it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
