A profecia de Abias contra Jeroboão

14 Abias, filho de Jeroboão, ficou por essa altura muito doente. 2 Então o rei disse à sua mulher: “Disfarça-te, de forma a que ninguém te possa reconhecer como sendo a rainha, e vai ter com Aías, o profeta que está em Silo, o homem que me anunciou que me tornaria rei. 3 Leva-lhe um presente de dez pães e uma botija de mel e pergunta-lhe se o rapaz se restabelecerá.”

4 A sua mulher assim fez e foi até à casa de Aías em Silo. Este era agora um homem muito idoso e já não podia ver bem. 5 Mas o Senhor avisou-o de que a rainha viria, fazendo-se passar por outra pessoa, para lhe perguntar acerca da saúde do filho que estava muito doente. E o Senhor comunicou-lhe o que deveria dizer-lhe.

6 Quando Aías a ouviu chegar à porta, gritou de dentro: “Podes entrar, mulher de Jeroboão! Porque pretendes fazer-te passar por outra pessoa?” Depois disse-lhe: “Tenho más notícias para te dar. 7 Leva ao teu marido esta mensagem da parte do Senhor, o Deus de Israel: ‘Fiz-te ascender de entre gente comum ao lugar de rei de Israel. 8 Arranquei o reino à família de David e entreguei-o a ti; contudo não obedeceste aos meus mandamentos como fez o meu servo David. Os desejos do seu coração foram sempre obedecer-me e cumprir a minha vontade. 9 Mas tu, sozinho, fizeste mais mal do que todos os outros reis antes de ti; arranjaste ídolos e acendeste a minha ira com os teus bezerros de ouro. Visto que me viraste as costas, 10 trarei consternação sobre o teu lar e sobre todos em Israel. Varrerei a tua família como se varre o esterco. 11 Garanto-te que aqueles da tua família que morrerem na cidade serão comidos pelos cães; os que morrerem no campo serão comidos pelas aves.’ ”

12 Depois Aías disse à mulher de Jeroboão: “Vai para casa; quando tiveres entrado na cidade o menino morrerá. 13 Todo o Israel o lamentará e o sepultará, mas ele será o único membro da tua família que terá um fim sossegado. Porque este menino é a única coisa boa que o Senhor, Deus de Israel, vê em toda a família de Jeroboão.

14 O Senhor vai designar um novo rei de Israel, que acabará com a dinastia de Jeroboão. E há de ser já! 15 O Senhor sacudirá Israel como uma cana à beira duma torrente, que é abanada pela força das águas; arrancará o povo de Israel da boa terra dos seus pais e os espalhará para além do rio Eufrates, pois suscitaram a ira do Senhor adorando os seus postes ídolos de Achera. 16 Ele abandonará Israel porque Jeroboão pecou e fez pecar todo o Israel com ele.”

17 A mulher de Jeroboão regressou a Tirza e o menino faleceu no momento em que ela entrava na sua residência. 18 Sepultaram-no e houve lamentos por toda a terra, tal como o Senhor predissera através do profeta Aías.

19 O resto dos feitos de Jeroboão, as guerras que fez e outros acontecimentos do seu reino, está relatado no Livro das Crónicas dos Reis de Israel. 20 Jeroboão reinou 22 anos. Quando morreu, o seu filho Nadabe ocupou o trono.

Roboão rei de Judá

(2 Cr 12.9-16)

21 Entretanto, Roboão, o filho de Salomão, continuava a reinar em Judá. Tinha 41 anos de idade quando começou a reinar e esteve 17 anos no trono em Jerusalém, a cidade entre todas as cidades de Israel que o Senhor escolhera para habitar. A mãe de Roboão chamava-se Naamá e era amonita.

22 Durante o seu reinado o povo de Judá, à semelhança de Israel, fez o que era mau e acendeu a ira do Senhor por causa do seu pecado, pois foi pior do que os seus antepassados. 23 Construíram santuários pagãos e obeliscos, assim como estátuas e postes ídolos de Achera, sobre todas as colinas e debaixo de árvores verdes. 24 Espalhou-se a prostituição masculina pela terra e o povo de Judá tornou-se tão depravado como as nações pagãs que o Senhor tinha expulsado da terra para dar lugar ao seu povo.

25 No quinto ano do reinado de Roboão o rei Sisaque do Egito atacou Jerusalém. 26 Levou os tesouros do templo do Senhor e do palácio real, assim como todos os escudos de ouro que Salomão mandara fazer. 27 O rei Roboão mandou fazer escudos de bronze para substituir os outros, e os guardas do palácio passaram a usá-los. 28 Sempre que o rei ia ao templo, os guardas formavam em parada, com os escudos, e depois punham-nos novamente na casa da guarda.

29 Os outros acontecimentos respeitantes ao reinado de Roboão estão escritos no Livro das Crónicas dos Reis de Judá. 30 Houve constantemente guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão. 31 Quando Roboão faleceu foi enterrado junto dos seus antepassados em Jerusalém. A sua mãe chamava-se Naamá e era amonita. O seu filho Abias tomou o seu lugar no trono.

Judgment on the House of Jeroboam

14 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick. 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that (A)I would be king over this people. 3 (B)Also take [a]with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what will become of the child.” 4 And Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose (C)and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were [b]glazed by reason of his age.

5 Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

6 And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: (D)“Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you ruler over My people Israel, 8 and (E)tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, (F)who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes; 9 but you have done more evil than all who were before you, (G)for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and (H)have cast Me behind your back— 10 therefore behold! (I)I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and (J)will cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, (K)bond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone. 11 The dogs shall eat (L)whoever belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field; for the Lord has spoken!” ’ 12 Arise therefore, go to your own house. (M)When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall [c]come to the grave, because in him (N)there is found something good toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

14 (O)“Moreover the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; [d]this is the day. What? Even now! 15 For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water. He will (P)uproot Israel from this (Q)good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them (R)beyond [e]the River, (S)because they have made their [f]wooden images, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, (T)who sinned and who made Israel sin.”

17 Then Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to (U)Tirzah. (V)When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. 18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, (W)according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.

Death of Jeroboam

19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he (X)made war and how he reigned, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 20 The period that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years. So he rested with his fathers. Then (Y)Nadab his son reigned in his place.

Rehoboam Reigns in Judah(Z)

21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. (AA)Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city (AB)which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. (AC)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. 22 (AD)Now Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they (AE)provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built for themselves (AF)high[g] places, (AG)sacred pillars, and (AH)wooden images on every high hill and (AI)under every green tree. 24 (AJ)And there were also [h]perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the (AK)abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of (AL)Israel.

25 (AM)It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 26 (AN)And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields (AO)which Solomon had made. 27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and [i]committed them to the hands of the captains of the [j]guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house. 28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.

29 (AP)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 (AQ)war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 31 (AR)So Rehoboam [k]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. (AS)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then (AT)Abijam[l] his son reigned in his place.

Chapter 14

Ahijah Announces Jeroboam’s Downfall.[a] 1 At that time Abijah, son of Jeroboam, took sick. 2 (A)So Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go and disguise yourself so that no one will recognize you as Jeroboam’s wife. Then go to Shiloh, where you will find Ahijah the prophet. It was he who spoke the word that made me king over this people. 3 Take along ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the child.” 4 The wife of Jeroboam did so. She left and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah.

Now Ahijah could not see because age had dimmed his sight. 5 But the Lord said to Ahijah: Jeroboam’s wife is coming to consult you about her son, for he is sick. Thus and so you must tell her. When she comes, she will be in disguise. 6 So Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps as she entered the door, said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why are you in disguise? For my part, I have been commissioned to give you bitter news. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I exalted you from among the people and made you ruler of my people Israel. 8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. Yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with his whole heart, doing only what is right in my sight. 9 You have done more evil than all who were before you: you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke me; but me you have cast behind your back. 10 (B)Therefore, I am bringing evil upon the house of Jeroboam:

I will cut off from Jeroboam’s line every male
    —bond or free—in Israel;
I will burn up what is left of the house of Jeroboam
    as dung is burned, completely.
11 (C)Anyone of Jeroboam’s line who dies in the city,
    dogs will devour;
anyone who dies in the field,
    the birds of the sky will devour.

For the Lord has spoken!’ 12 As for you, leave, and go home! As you step inside the city, the child will die, 13 and all Israel will mourn him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam’s line will be laid in the grave, since in him alone of Jeroboam’s house has something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, been found. 14 The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam—today, at this very moment! 15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed tossed about in the water and will pluck out Israel from this good land which he gave their ancestors, and will scatter them beyond the River,[b] because they made asherahs for themselves, provoking the Lord. 16 He will give up Israel because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and caused Israel to commit.” 17 So Jeroboam’s wife left and went back; when she came to Tirzah and crossed the threshold of her house, the child died. 18 He was buried and all Israel mourned him, according to the word of the Lord spoken through his servant Ahijah the prophet.

19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, these are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 20 The length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years. He rested with his ancestors, and Nadab his son succeeded him as king.

III. Kings of Judah and Israel[c]

Reign of Rehoboam. 21 [d]Rehoboam, son of Solomon, became king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city in which, out of all the tribes of Israel, the Lord chose to set his name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

22 Judah did evil in the Lord’s sight and they angered him even more than their ancestors had done. 23 They, too, built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and asherahs,[e] upon every high hill and under every green tree. 24 There were also pagan priests in the land. Judah imitated all the abominable practices of the nations whom the Lord had driven out of the Israelites’ way. 25 [f]In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem. 26 (D)He took everything, including the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the house of the king, even the gold shields Solomon had made. 27 To replace them, King Rehoboam made bronze shields, which he entrusted to the officers of the guard on duty at the entrance of the royal house. 28 Whenever the king visited the house of the Lord, those on duty would carry the shields, and then return them to the guardroom.

29 The rest of the acts of Rehoboam, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. 30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 31 Rehoboam rested with his ancestors; he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.

Footnotes

  1. 14:1–20 The last major unit of the Jeroboam story recounts the story of Ahijah of Shiloh’s oracle condemning the entire house of Jeroboam; this is followed by a formulaic notice of Jeroboam’s death and the succession of his son. Compare the first unit of the Jeroboam story, 11:26–43, which recounted Ahijah’s oracle proclaiming Jeroboam’s kingship, followed by the formulaic notice of the death of Solomon.
  2. 14:15 The River: the Euphrates; see note on 5:1.
  3. 14:21–16:34 The treatment of the events of Jeroboam’s reign shows that the author believes that the political division of the kingdoms embodies the Lord’s will, but that their religious separation is undesirable. The Israelites are, in effect, one people of God under two royal administrations. This complex arrangement is reflected in the way 1–2 Kings organizes the history of the divided kingdoms. Each reign is treated as a unity: the kings, whether of Israel or Judah, are legitimate rulers. But the accounts of northern and southern kings are interwoven in the order in which each came to the throne, without regard to which kingdom they ruled: the people of God is one.
  4. 14:21 The account of each king’s reign follows the same basic pattern: a formulaic introduction, a theological evaluation based on religious fidelity, a brief account of an event from the king’s reign, and a formulaic conclusion.
  5. 14:23 Asherahs: see note on Ex 34:13.
  6. 14:25–28, 30 The narrator recounts Shishak’s campaign here to imply that it was punishment for Judah’s evil, and perhaps to cast him as supporting Jeroboam in his constant warfare with Rehoboam. (Shishak was named as Jeroboam’s protector and patron in 11:40.) Egyptian records of the campaign list one hundred fifty cities conquered in Israel as well as Judah, but Jerusalem is not one of them. Chronicles has a parallel version of this account in 2 Chr 12:9–11.
