1 Kings 14:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ Moreover, the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam this day. From now on

¹⁵ The Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will root up Israel out of this good land which He gave to their fathers and will scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River, because they have made their Asherim [idolatrous symbols of the goddess Asherah], provoking the Lord to anger.

¹⁶ He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam which he has sinned and made Israel to sin.
