1 Kings 14:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Then the Lord will punish Israel. The Israelites will be so full of fear that they will shake like tall grass in the water. He will pull Israel up from this good land that he gave their ancestors. He will scatter them to the other side of the Euphrates River. The Lord will do this because the people made him angry when they built sacred poles.^{[a] 16} He will let the Israelites be defeated because Jeroboam sinned, and then he made the Israelites sin.”

¹⁷ Jeroboam’s wife went back to Tirzah. As soon as she stepped into the house, the boy died.
