Profecía de Ahías contra Jeroboam
14 Por aquel tiempo Abías, hijo de Jeroboam, se enfermó. 2 Y Jeroboam dijo a su mujer: «Levántate ahora y disfrázate(A) para que no conozcan que eres la mujer de Jeroboam, y ve a Silo(B), pues allí está el profeta Ahías, que dijo de mí que yo sería rey sobre este pueblo(C). 3 Toma en tus manos diez panes(D), tortas y un jarro de miel, y ve a él. Él te dirá lo que le ha de suceder al niño». 4 Así lo hizo la mujer de Jeroboam; se levantó, fue a Silo(E) y llegó a casa de Ahías(F). Y Ahías no podía ver porque sus ojos se habían nublado[a] a causa de su vejez(G). 5 Pero el Señor había dicho a Ahías: «La mujer de Jeroboam viene a consultarte sobre su hijo, pues está enfermo. Esto y esto le dirás, pues será que cuando ella venga, fingirá ser otra mujer(H)».
6 Cuando Ahías oyó el ruido de los pasos de ella al entrar por la puerta, dijo: «Entra, mujer de Jeroboam. ¿Por qué finges ser otra mujer? Pues he sido enviado a ti con un duro mensaje. 7 Ve, dile a Jeroboam: “Así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: ‘Yo te levanté de entre el pueblo y te hice príncipe sobre Mi pueblo Israel(I). 8 Arranqué el reino de la casa de David y te lo di a ti(J), pero tú no has sido como Mi siervo David, que guardó Mis mandamientos y me siguió de todo corazón, para hacer solo lo que era recto a Mis ojos(K); 9 sino que has hecho más mal que todos los que fueron antes de ti, y fuiste e hiciste para ti otros dioses(L) e imágenes fundidas(M) para provocarme a ira, y me arrojaste detrás de tus espaldas(N); 10 por tanto, voy a traer mal sobre la casa de Jeroboam, y cortaré de Jeroboam a todo varón, tanto esclavo como libre en Israel(O). Barreré completamente la casa de Jeroboam(P), como se barre el estiércol hasta que desaparece del todo. 11 Cualquiera de los de Jeroboam que muera en la ciudad, se lo comerán los perros. Y el que muera en el campo, se lo comerán las aves del cielo(Q); porque el Señor ha hablado’”. 12 Y tú, levántate, vete a tu casa. Cuando tus pies entren en la ciudad, el niño morirá(R). 13 Y todo Israel hará duelo por él y lo sepultarán, pues solo este de la familia de Jeroboam irá a la sepultura, porque de la casa de Jeroboam, solo en él fue hallado algo bueno hacia el Señor, Dios(S) de Israel.
14 »Y el Señor levantará para sí un rey sobre Israel que destruirá la casa de Jeroboam(T) en este día, y de ahora en adelante[b]. 15 El Señor, pues, herirá a Israel, como se agita una caña en el agua, y Él arrancará a Israel(U) de esta buena tierra(V) que dio a sus padres(W), y los esparcirá más allá del río Éufrates, porque han hecho sus Aseras[c], provocando a ira al Señor(X). 16 Él abandonará a Israel a causa de los pecados que cometió Jeroboam y con los cuales hizo pecar a Israel(Y)».
17 Entonces la mujer de Jeroboam se levantó, se fue y llegó a Tirsa(Z). Y al entrar ella por el umbral de la casa, el niño murió(AA). 18 Y todo Israel lo sepultó e hizo duelo por él(AB), conforme a la palabra que el Señor había hablado por medio de Su siervo, el profeta Ahías.
19 Los demás hechos de Jeroboam(AC), cómo peleó en las guerras y cómo reinó, están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 20 El tiempo que Jeroboam reinó fue de veintidós años, y durmió con sus padres; y su hijo Nadab reinó en su lugar.
Reinado de Roboam
21 (AD)Roboam, hijo de Salomón, reinó en Judá. Roboam tenía cuarenta y un años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó diecisiete años en Jerusalén, la ciudad que el Señor había escogido de entre todas las tribus de Israel para poner allí Su nombre. El nombre de su madre era Naama, una amonita(AE).
22 Judá hizo lo malo(AF) ante los ojos del Señor, y lo provocaron a celos(AG) más que todo lo que sus padres lo habían provocado con los pecados que habían hecho. 23 Porque ellos también edificaron para sí lugares altos(AH), pilares(AI) sagrados y Aseras(AJ) en toda colina alta y bajo todo árbol frondoso(AK). 24 Hubo también en la tierra sodomitas de cultos paganos(AL). Hicieron conforme a todas las abominaciones de las naciones que el Señor había echado delante de los israelitas.
25 Y sucedió que en el quinto año del rey Roboam, Sisac, rey de Egipto, subió contra Jerusalén(AM). 26 Tomó los tesoros de la casa del Señor y los tesoros del palacio del rey. Se apoderó de todo, llevándose aun todos los escudos de oro que había hecho Salomón(AN). 27 Entonces el rey Roboam hizo escudos de bronce en su lugar, y los entregó al cuidado de los jefes de la guardia[d](AO) que custodiaban la entrada de la casa del rey. 28 Cuando el rey entraba en la casa del Señor, los de la guardia llevaban los escudos; y después los devolvían a la sala de los de la guardia.
29 Los demás hechos de Roboam y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas(AP) de los reyes de Judá? 30 Hubo guerra continua entre Roboam y Jeroboam(AQ). 31 Y durmió Roboam con sus padres y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David; y el nombre de su madre era Naama, una amonita(AR). Y su hijo Abiam[e] reinó en su lugar.
1 Kings 14

Ahijah Prophesies Against Jeroboam
14 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became sick. 2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you will not be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. There you will find Ahijah the prophet, who told me that I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves, cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to our child.” 4 Jeroboam’s wife did so and arose and went to Shiloh, to the house of Ahijah.
But Ahijah could not see, for in his old age he had gone blind. 5 The Lord said to Ahijah, “The wife of Jeroboam has come to ask you about her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for when she comes, she will be disguised as another woman.”
6 And so when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you disguise yourself as another? I have been sent to you with bad news. 7 Go tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I raised you up from among the people and made you prince over My people Israel, 8 and took the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it you. Yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart to do only that which was right in My eyes, 9 but you have sinned more than all who were before you, for you have gone and made other gods and molded images and provoked Me to anger and have cast Me behind your back.
10 “ ‘Therefore I will bring disaster upon the house of Jeroboam and will cut off from Jeroboam all males, both slave and free in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man takes away refuse until it is all gone. 11 Descendants of Jeroboam who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air, for the Lord has spoken it.’
12 “Arise therefore and go to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him, for he alone from the house of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Israel.
14 “Moreover the Lord will raise up a king over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on. 15 For the Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and He will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 He shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam who sinned and who led Israel to sin.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed and came to Tirzah. As she arrived at 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 spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 20 Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years, and then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead.
Rehoboam, King of Judah(A)
21 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, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.
22 Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the people provoked Him to jealousy with the sins they committed, even worse than their fathers had done. 23 For they also built high places and images and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree. 24 There were also male cult prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 26 He took away all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house, even all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 27 King Rehoboam replaced them with bronze shields and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard who guarded the king’s house. 28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried 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 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 31 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 Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings 14
New King James Version
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.
