1 Kings 14:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Then the Lord will ·punish [shake; ^Lstrike] Israel, which will be like reeds ·swaying [shaking] in the water. The Lord will ·pull up [uproot] Israel from this good land, the land he gave their ancestors. He will scatter Israel beyond the Euphrates River, because he is angry with the people. They ·made the Lord angry [aroused/provoked the Lord to anger] when they set up ·idols to worship Asherah [^LAsherahs; ^Csacred trees or poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah]. ¹⁶ Jeroboam sinned, and then he made the people of Israel sin. So the Lord will ·let the people of Israel be defeated [abandon/give up Israel].”

¹⁷ Then Jeroboam’s wife left and returned to Tirzah. As ·soon as she entered [^Lshe crossed the threshold of] her home, the boy died.
