Ang Ginhambal ni Propeta Ahia Batok kay Jeroboam

14 Sadto nga tion, nagmasakit ang bata nga lalaki ni Jeroboam nga si Abia. Gani nagsiling si Jeroboam sa iya asawa, “Magpakuno-kuno ka agod wala sing may makakilala sa imo nga asawa ko ikaw, kag magkadto ka sa Shilo. Ato didto si Ahia, ang propeta nga nagsiling sa akon nga mangin hari ako sang Israel. Magkadto ka sa iya nga may dala nga mga regalo nga napulo ka tinapay, mga kalan-on, kag isa ka tibod nga dugos, kay sugiran ka niya kon ano ang matabo sa aton bata.” Gani nagkadto ang asawa ni Jeroboam sa balay ni Ahia sa Shilo. Tigulang na si Ahia kag indi na siya makakita. Pero nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Ahia, “Nagapakadto diri ang asawa ni Jeroboam nga nagapakuno-kuno agod indi siya makilala. Mamangkot siya sa imo parte sa iya bata nga nagamasakit, kag sabton mo siya sang akon isiling sa imo.”

Gani sang mabatian ni Ahia nga nagapasulod siya sa puwertahan, nagsiling si Ahia, “Dali, sulod. Nahibaluan ko nga asawa ka ni Jeroboam. Ngaa nagapakuno-kuno ka pa? May malain ako nga balita sa imo. Pauli ka kag silinga si Jeroboam nga amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel: Ginpili ko ikaw sa mga tawo kag ginhimo nga pangulo sang akon katawhan nga mga Israelinhon. Ginkuha ko ang ginharian sa mga kaliwat ni David kag ginhatag sa imo. Pero indi ka pareho kay David nga akon alagad, nga nagtuman sa akon mga sugo kag nagsunod sa akon sa bug-os niya nga tagipusuon, kag naghimo sing matarong sa akon panulok. Mas malain pa ang imo ginhimo sang sa ginhimo sang mga nauna sa imo. Ginsikway mo ako kag ginpaakig paagi sa pagpahimo sang metal nga mga dios-dios. 10 Tungod sini, laglagon ko ang imo panimalay. Pamatyon ko ang tanan nga miyembro sang imo panimalay nga mga lalaki, ulipon ukon indi. Laglagon ko sing bug-os ang imo panimalay pareho sa higko[a] nga ginsunog nga wala sing may nabilin. 11 Ang mga miyembro sang imo panimalay nga magakalamatay sa banwa pagakaunon sang mga ido, kag ang magakalamatay sa uma pagakaunon sang mga pispis. Matabo gid ini, kay ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”

12 Dayon nagsiling si Ahia sa asawa ni Jeroboam, “Magpauli ka na sa inyo. Pag-abot mo sa inyo siyudad, mapatay ang imo bata. 13 Magapangasubo sa iya ang tanan nga taga-Israel, kag ilubong siya. Siya lang sa panimalay ni Jeroboam ang hatagan sang nagakaigo nga lubong, kay siya lang sa panimalay ni Jeroboam ang nalipayan sang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel. 14 Kag sa sini gid nga tiyempo, may ibutang ang Ginoo nga hari sa Israel nga amo ang magalaglag sa panimalay ni Jeroboam. 15 Silutan sang Ginoo ang Israel hasta nga magakurog ini pareho sang pagkurog sang tigbaw sa sulog nga tubig. Kuhaon niya sila sa sining maayo nga duta nga iya ginhatag sa ila mga katigulangan, kag laptahon niya sila sa unhan sang Suba sang Eufrates tungod kay ginpaakig nila siya sang maghimo sila sang mga hulohaligi nga simbolo sang diosa nga si Ashera. 16 Pabay-an niya sila tungod sa mga sala ni Jeroboam, nga nangin kabangdanan sang pagpakasala sang mga taga-Israel.”

17 Dayon nagpauli ang asawa ni Jeroboam sa Tirza. Pag-abot gid niya sa puwertahan sang ila balay, napatay dayon ang iya bata. 18 Nagpangasubo sa bata ang tanan nga taga-Israel kag ginlubong nila siya, suno man sa ginsiling sang Ginoo paagi sa iya alagad nga si Propeta Ahia.

19 Ang iban pa nga estorya parte sa paghari ni Jeroboam, pati ang iya mga pagpakig-away, nasulat sa Libro sang Kasaysayan sang mga Hari sang Israel. 20 Naghari si Jeroboam sa Israel sa sulod sang 22 ka tuig. Kag sang napatay siya, si Nadab nga iya anak amo ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.

Ang Paghari ni Rehoboam sa Juda(A)

21 Si Rehoboam nga anak ni Solomon amo ang hari sa Juda. Nagaedad siya sing 41 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Kag naghari siya sa sulod sang 17 ka tuig sa Jerusalem, ang siyudad nga ginpili sang Ginoo sa tanan nga tribo sang Israel, nga sa diin padunggan siya. Ang iloy ni Rehoboam amo si Naama nga Ammonhon.

22 Nagpakasala ang katawhan sang Juda sa panulok sang Ginoo, kag mas grabe pa ang kaakig sang Ginoo sa ila sang sa ila mga katigulangan, kay mas grabe ang ila mga sala. 23 Naghimo man sila sang mga simbahan sa mataas nga mga lugar kag sang handumanan nga mga bato, kag nagpatindog sila sang mga hulohaligi nga simbolo sang diosa nga si Ashera sa ibabaw sang tagsa ka bukid kag sa idalom sang tagsa ka madabong nga kahoy. 24 Wala labot sina, may ara pa sila nga mga lalaki kag mga babayi nga nagabaligya sang ila lawas sa mga lugar nga ila ginasimbahan. Ang katawhan sang Juda naghimo sang tanan nga makangilil-ad nga butang nga ginahimo anay sang mga nasyon nga ginpatabog sang Ginoo sa mga Israelinhon.

25 Sang ikalima nga tuig sang paghari ni Rehoboam, ginsalakay ni Haring Shishak sang Egipto ang Jerusalem. 26 Ginpanguha niya ang mga manggad sa templo sang Ginoo kag sa palasyo. Ginkuha niya ang tanan, pati na ang tanan nga taming nga bulawan nga ginpahimo ni Solomon. 27 Gani nagpahimo si Haring Rehoboam sang mga taming nga saway sa pag-ilis sadto nga mga taming, kag gin-intrigar niya ini sa mga opisyal sang mga guwardya nga nagabantay sa puwertahan sang palasyo. 28 Kag kon magkadto ang hari sa templo sang Ginoo, nagaupod sa iya ang mga guwardya nga dala ini nga mga taming, kag pagkatapos ginabalik man nila ini sa ila kuwarto.

29 Ang iban pa nga mga estorya parte sa paghari ni Rehoboam, kag ang tanan nga iya ginhimo, nasulat sa Libro sang Kasaysayan sang mga Hari sang Juda. 30 Permi lang sadto nagainaway si Rehoboam kag si Jeroboam. 31 Sang napatay si Rehoboam, ginlubong siya sa ginlubngan sang iya mga katigulangan sa Banwa ni David. (Ang iloy ni Rehoboam amo si Naama nga Ammonhon.) Si Abia[b] nga iya anak amo ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.

Ahijah’s Prophecy Against Jeroboam

14 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go, disguise yourself, so you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah(A) the prophet is there—the one who told me I would be king over this people. Take ten loaves of bread(B) with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.” So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh.

Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else.”

So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense?(C) I have been sent to you with bad news. Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:(D) ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler(E) over my people Israel. I tore(F) the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right(G) in my eyes. You have done more evil(H) than all who lived before you.(I) You have made for yourself other gods, idols(J) made of metal; you have aroused(K) my anger and turned your back on me.(L)

10 “‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster(M) on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel—slave or free.[a](N) I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.(O) 11 Dogs(P) will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds(Q) will feed on those who die in the country. The Lord has spoken!’

12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the Lord, the God of Israel, has found anything good.(R)

14 “The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen.[b] 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(S) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(T) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(U) poles.[c] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(V) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”

17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah.(W) As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died. 18 They buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, as the Lord had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah.

19 The other events of Jeroboam’s reign, his wars and how he ruled, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel. 20 He reigned for twenty-two years and then rested with his ancestors. And Nadab his son succeeded him as king.

Rehoboam King of Judah(X)

21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.(Y)

22 Judah(Z) did evil in the eyes of the Lord. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger(AA) more than those who were before them had done. 23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones(AB) and Asherah poles(AC) on every high hill and under every spreading tree.(AD) 24 There were even male shrine prostitutes(AE) in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable(AF) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked(AG) Jerusalem. 26 He carried off the treasures of the temple(AH) of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields(AI) Solomon had made. 27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.(AJ) 28 Whenever the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards bore the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.

29 As for the other events of Rehoboam’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 30 There was continual warfare(AK) between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 31 And Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.(AL) And Abijah[d] his son succeeded him as king.

14 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.

And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.

And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

And the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.

And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;

But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it.

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine 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 Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

14 Moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? 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 gave 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 did sin, and who made Israel to sin.

17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;

18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of his servant 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 two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.

23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.

25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.

28 And it was so, when the king went into the house of the Lord, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

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

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

31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
