¹⁷ Then Jeroboam’s wife traveled back to Tirzah. When she entered her home, the boy died. ¹⁸ They buried him. And all Israel had a time of sadness for him. This happened as the Lord said it would. The Lord had said these things through his servant, the prophet Ahijah.

¹⁹ Everything else Jeroboam did is written down. He fought wars and continued to rule the people. It is all written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
