1 Kings 14:6-16

1 Kings 14:6-16

[6] 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  [7] 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,  [8] 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;  [9] But hast done  evil  above all that were before  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  [12] Arise  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] Israel  up  because  of the sins  of Jeroboam,  who did sin,  and who made Israel  to sin.
