Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
[28] And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and
the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
[29]
And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and
the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
[30] And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and
they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
[31] And it came to pass, after he had buried him,
that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man
of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
[32] For the saying which he cried by the word of the
LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities
of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
[33] After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but
made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him,
and he became one of the priests of the high places.
[34] And this thing became sin unto the house of
Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
1Kgs.14
[1] At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
[2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[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 tidings.
[7] 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,
[8] 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;
[9]
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 this 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
