Ang Sinabi ni Propeta Ahia Laban kay Jeroboam

14 Nang panahong iyon, nagkasakit ang anak na lalaki ni Jeroboam na si Abijah. Kaya sinabi ni Jeroboam sa asawa niya, “Pumunta ka sa Shilo, magbalat-kayo ka para walang makakilala sa iyo na asawa kita. Naroon si Ahia, ang propeta na nagsabi sa akin na magiging hari ako ng Israel. Pumunta ka sa kanya at magdala ng mga regalo na sampung tinapay, mga pagkain, at isang garapong pulot dahil sasabihin niya sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa anak natin.” Kaya pumunta ang asawa ni Jeroboam sa bahay ni Ahia sa Shilo. Matanda na si Ahia at hindi na makakita. Pero sinabi ng Panginoon kay Ahia, “Papunta rito ang asawa ni Jeroboam na nagbalat-kayo para hindi makilala. Magtatanong siya sa iyo tungkol sa anak niyang may sakit, at sagutin mo siya ng sasabihin ko sa iyo.”

Nang marinig ni Ahia na papasok siya sa pintuan, sinabi ni Ahia, “Halika, pumasok ka. Alam kong asawa ka ni Jeroboam. Bakit ka nagbabalat-kayo? May masamang balita ako sa iyo. Umuwi ka at sabihin mo kay Jeroboam na ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel: ‘Ikaw ang pinili ko sa lahat ng tao para gawing pinuno ng mga mamamayan kong Israelita. Kinuha ko ang kaharian sa pamilya ni David at ibinigay sa iyo. Pero hindi ka katulad ni David na lingkod ko. Tinupad niya ang mga utos ko, sumunod siya sa akin nang buong puso, at gumawa ng matuwid sa aking paningin. Mas masama ang ginawa mo kaysa sa ginawa ng mga pinunong nauna sa iyo. Itinakwil mo ako at ipinagpalit sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagawa ng mga dios-diosang gawa sa metal. 10 Dahil dito, padadalhan ko ng kapahamakan ang sambahayan mo. Papatayin ko ang lahat ng lalaki, alipin man o hindi. Wawasakin ko nang lubusan ang sambahayan mo tulad ng dumi[a] na sinunog at walang natira. 11 Ang mga miyembro ng sambahayan mo na mamamatay sa lungsod ay kakainin ng mga aso, at ang mamamatay sa bukid ay kakainin ng mga ibon.’ Mangyayari ito dahil Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsabi nito.”

12 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Ahia sa asawa ni Jeroboam, “Umuwi ka na sa inyo. Pagdating mo sa inyong lungsod, mamamatay ang iyong anak. 13 Ipagluluksa siya ng buong Israel at ililibing. Siya lang sa sambahayan ni Jeroboam ang maililibing ng maayos, dahil siya lang sa sambahayan ni Jeroboam ang kinalugdan ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel. 14 At sa panahong ito, maglalagay ang Panginoon ng hari sa Israel na siyang gigiba sa sambahayan ni Jeroboam. 15 Parurusahan ng Panginoon ang Israel hanggang sa manginig ito tulad ng talahib na humahapay-hapay sa agos ng tubig. Aalisin niya sila sa magandang lupaing ito, na ibinigay niya sa kanilang mga ninuno, at pangangalatin sila sa unahan ng Ilog ng Eufrates dahil ginalit nila siya nang gumawa sila ng mga posteng simbolo ng diosang si Ashera. 16 Pababayaan niya sila dahil sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam, na naging dahilan ng pagkakasala ng mga taga-Israel.”

17 Pagkatapos, umuwi ang asawa ni Jeroboam sa Tirza. Pagdating niya sa pintuan ng bahay nila, namatay agad ang kanyang anak. 18 Ipinagluksa ng buong Israel ang kanyang anak at inilibing nila ito, ayon nga sa sinabi ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng kanyang lingkod na si Propeta Ahia.

19 Ang iba pang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Jeroboam, pati na ang kanyang pakikipaglaban ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga hari ng Israel. 20 Naghari si Jeroboam sa Israel sa loob ng 22 taon. Nang mamatay siya, ang anak niyang si Nadab ang pumalit sa kanya bilang hari.

Ang Paghahari ni Rehoboam sa Juda(A)

21 Si Rehoboam na anak ni Solomon ang hari sa Juda, 41 taong gulang siya nang maging hari. Naghari siya sa loob ng 17 taon sa Jerusalem, ang lungsod na pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat ng lahi ng Israel, kung saan pararangalan siya. Ang ina ni Rehoboam ay si Naama na taga-Ammon.

22 Gumawa ng kasamaan ang mga mamamayan ng Juda sa paningin ng Panginoon, at mas matindi pa ang galit ng Panginoon sa kanila kaysa sa kanilang mga ninuno, dahil mas matindi ang mga kasalanan nila. 23 Gumawa rin sila ng mga sambahan sa matataas na lugar[b] at mga alaalang bato. At nagpatayo sila ng mga posteng simbolo ng diosang si Ashera sa ibabaw ng bawat burol at sa lilim ng bawat malalagong punongkahoy. 24 Bukod pa rito, may mga lalaki at babaeng bayaran sa lugar na pinagsasambahan nila. Gumawa ang mga mamamayan ng Juda ng lahat ng kasuklam-suklam na mga bagay na ginawa ng mga bansang pinalayas ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng mga Israelita.

25 Nang ikalimang taon ng paghahari ni Rehoboam, nilusob ni Haring Shisak ng Egipto ang Jerusalem. 26 Kinuha niya ang mga kayamanan sa templo ng Panginoon at sa palasyo. Kinuha niya ang lahat, pati na rin ang lahat ng pananggalang na ginto na ipinagawa ni Solomon. 27 Kaya nagpagawa si Haring Rehoboam ng mga pananggalang na tanso na kapalit ng mga ito, at ipinamahala niya ito sa mga opisyal ng mga guwardya na nagbabantay sa pintuan ng palasyo. 28 At kapag pupunta ang hari sa templo ng Panginoon, sasama sa kanya ang mga tagapagbantay na dala ang mga pananggalang na ito, at pagkatapos, ibabalik din nila ito sa kanilang kwarto.

29 Ang iba pang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Rehoboam, at ang lahat ng ginawa niya ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga Hari sa Juda. 30 Palaging naglalaban sila Rehoboam at Jeroboam. 31 Nang mamatay si Rehoboam, inilibing siya sa libingan ng mga ninuno niya sa Lungsod ni David. (Ang ina ni Rehoboam ay si Naama na taga-Ammon.) At ang anak niyang si Abijah[c] ang pumalit sa kanya 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.

Prophecy Against Jeroboam

14 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. And Jeroboam said to his wife, “Arise, and disguise yourself, that it not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to (A)Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, (B)who said of me that I should be king over this people. (C)Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what shall happen to the child.”

Jeroboam's wife did so. She arose and went to (D)Shiloh and came to the house of (E)Ahijah. Now (F)Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age. And the Lord said to (G)Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus shall you say to her.”

When she came, she pretended to be another woman. But when (H)Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with unbearable news for you. Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (I)“Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over my people Israel and (J)tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, and yet you have not been (K)like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes, but you have done evil above all who were before you and have gone and (L)made for yourself other gods and (M)metal images, provoking me to anger, and (N)have cast me behind your back, 10 therefore behold, I will bring harm upon the house of Jeroboam and (O)will cut off from Jeroboam every male, (P)both bond and free in Israel, and (Q)will burn up the house of Jeroboam, as a man burns up dung until it is all gone. 11 (R)Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat, for the Lord has spoken it.”’ 12 Arise therefore, go to your house. (S)When your feet enter 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 (T)there is found something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 14 (U)Moreover, the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today. And henceforth, 15 the Lord will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and (V)root up Israel out of (W)this good land that he gave to their fathers and scatter them (X)beyond the Euphrates,[a] because they have made their (Y)Asherim, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and made Israel to sin.”

17 Then Jeroboam's wife arose and departed and came to (Z)Tirzah. And (AA)as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. 18 And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, (AB)according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

The Death of Jeroboam

19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, (AC)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 time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

Rehoboam Reigns in Judah

21 (AD)Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, (AE)the city that the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. (AF)His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite. 22 (AG)And Judah did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and they (AH)provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built for themselves (AI)high places (AJ)and pillars and (AK)Asherim on every high hill and (AL)under every green tree, 24 and there were also (AM)male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

25 (AN)In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 26 He took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house. (AO)He took away everything. He also took away all the shields of gold (AP)that Solomon had made, 27 and King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house. 28 And as often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom.

29 (AQ)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 (AR)And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. (AS)His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite. And (AT)Abijam his son reigned in his place.

  1. 1 Kings 14:15 Hebrew the River

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.
