1 Wa 12-14
Haitian Creole Version
12 ¶ Woboram moute lavil Sichèm kote tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.
2 Lè Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te nan peyi Lejip kote li te al kache pou Salomon an, pran nouvèl la, li kite peyi Lejip, li tounen nan peyi l'.
3 Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, y' al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:
4 -Salomon, papa ou, te di anpil ak nou, li te peze nou anpil. Koulye a, fè yon leve men pou nou. Kite nou viv yon ti jan pi alèz, n'a sèvi ou nèt ale.
5 Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi pèp la al fè wout li.
6 Woboram menm al jwenn chèf fanmi ki te sèvi konseye pou Salomon, papa l', lè l' t'ap viv, li mande yo: -Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la? Ki konsèy nou ban mwen?
7 Yo reponn li: -Si jòdi a ou fè pèp la wè se sèvi ou vle sèvi l', si ou asepte fè sa yo mande ou la, si ou pale byen ak yo, y'ap toujou sèvi ou.
8 Men, Woboram pa koute konsèy granmoun yo te ba li a, l' al jwenn jenn gason ki te leve ansanm avè l' yo, lèfini ki te toujou la avè l', li mande yo konsèy.
9 Li di yo: -Ki konsèy nou ta ban mwen? Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la k'ap mande m' pou m' fè yon leve men pou yo?
10 Jenn gason kanmarad li yo reponn li: -Men sa w'a di moun sa yo k'ap plenyen ba ou pou papa ou ki t'ap peze yo, epi k'ap mande ou fè yon leve men pou yo. W'a di yo: Si papa m' te di ak nou, mwen menm m'ap pi di pase l'.
11 Wi, w'a di yo: Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm m'ap mete sou chay la ankò. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.
12 Twa jou apre vre, Jewoboram tounen ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la vin jwenn wa Woboram jan li te di yo a.
13 Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.
14 Li reponn yo jan jenn gason yo te ba l' konsèy fè a. Li di yo: -Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm m'ap mete sou chay n'ap pote deja a. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.
15 Se konsa wa a pa t' asepte fè sa pèp la te mande l' la. Sa se travay Seyè a menm ki te vle pou sa li te voye Akija, pwofèt Silo a, al di Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, rive vre.
16 ¶ Lè pèp Izrayèl la wè wa a pa t' soti pou li fè sa yo te mande l' la, yo reponn wa a. Yo di li: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David. Nou pa bezwen anyen nan zafè pitit Izayi a. Ann al lakay nou, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo! Ann kite pitit David yo degaje yo pou kont yo ak fanmi yo! Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do al lakay yo.
17 Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.
18 Apre sa, wa Woboram voye Adoram ki te reskonsab travay kòve yo bò kote moun Izrayèl yo. Men moun Izrayèl yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri. Lè sa a, wa Woboram prese moute sou cha li, li kouri ale lavil Jerizalèm.
19 Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
20 Lè moun peyi Izrayèl yo vin konnen Jewoboram te tounen soti peyi Lejip, yo voye chache l' pou l' vin nan yon reyinyon. Yo fè msye wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Se moun branch fanmi Jida yo ase ki te kenbe fèm ak fanmi David la.
21 Lè Woboram rive lavil Jerizalèm, li sanble sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda ki te nan branch fanmi Jida ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen pou l' al goumen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo, pou l' mete yo anba lòd li ankò.
22 Men, Bondye pale ak Chemaya, pwofèt li a, li di l' konsa:
23 -Pale ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun ki fè pati branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen. Di yo:
24 Men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye ba yo: Pa konprann pou n' al atake moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se fanmi nou yo ye. Tounen lakay nou. Sa ki rive a se travay mwen, se mwen ki vle l' konsa. Moun yo koute lòd Seyè a vre, yo tout al lakay yo jan Seyè a te di yo a.
25 ¶ Jewoboram ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Sichèm nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se la l' al rete pou yon tan. Apre sa, li kite Sichèm, l' al ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Penwèl.
26 Lèfini, Jewoboram di nan kè li: -Jan sa ye koulye a, gouvènman an pral tounen nan men moun fanmi David yo ankò.
27 Paske, si pèp la gen pou moute lavil Jerizalèm chak lè pou touye bèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan, rive yon lè, y'ap tounen al jwenn Woboram, wa peyi Jida a. Lè sa a, y'a touye m' pou y' al jwenn li ankò.
28 Lè li fin fè lide sa a, li fè de estati towo an lò, epi li di pèp la: -Nou moute kont nou koulye a lavil Jerizalèm pou fè sèvis. Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, men bondye pa nou, bondye ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip.
29 Li mete yonn nan estati towo yo lavil Betèl, li mete lòt la lavil Dann.
30 Se konsa pèp la rive fè sa ki mal. Y' al fè sèvis pou zidòl yo lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.
31 Jewoboram al bati lòt kay zidòl sou tèt kèk mòn. Li chwazi kèk gason nan pèp la ki pa t' nan branch fanmi Levi yo pou sèvi prèt.
32 Jewoboram chwazi kenzyèm jou nan wityèm mwa a pou yon jou fèt, tankou fèt yo fè nan peyi Jida a. Sou lotèl lavil Betèl la, li touye bèt pou estati towo li te fè fè yo. Lèfini, se la lavil Betèl ankò li mete prèt ki pou sèvi nan lòt kote li te bati pou fè sèvis yo.
33 Se konsa, sou kenzyèm jou wityèm mwa a, jou li menm li te chwazi a, li moute lavil Betèl, l' al touye bèt sou lotèl la pou fete fèt li menm li te fè lide fete pou pèp Izrayèl la.
13 ¶ Lè sa a, Seyè a bay yonn nan pwofèt li yo ki te nan peyi Jida lòd pou li moute lavil Betèl. Lè li rive lavil Betèl, Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la ap boule lansan.
2 Dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li a, pwofèt la pale byen fò, li bay mesaj sa a sou lotèl la: -Ou menm lotèl! Wi, ou menm lotèl! Men sa Seyè a di: Nan fanmi David la, gen yon timoun ki pral fèt, y'ap rele l' Jozyas. L'ap vini, l'ap pran tout prèt k'ap sèvi nan kay zidòl yo, prèt k'ap boule lansan sou ou yo, l'ap touye yo sou ou. Lèfini, sou ou ankò y'a boule zosman moun.
3 Menm jou sa a pwofèt la bay yon siy, li di konsa: -Lotèl sa a pral fann de bò. Sann dife ki sou li a pral gaye tout atè a. Lè n'a wè sa, n'a konnen se Seyè a menm ki pale nan bouch mwen.
4 Lè Jewoboram tande pawòl pwofèt la te di sou lotèl Betèl la, li lonje men l' anwo lotèl la sou pwofèt la, li di: -Pran msye! Men, men li te lonje sou pwofèt la rete tou rèd, li pa t' ka fè yon mouvman avè l' ankò.
5 Lamenm, lotèl la rete konsa, li fann de bò, epi sann dife ki te sou li a gaye tout atè a, jan pwofèt la te di sa nan non Seyè a.
6 wa Jewoboram pran lapawòl ankò, li di pwofèt Bondye a konsa: -Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou mwen. Mande l' pou l' geri men m'. Pwofèt la lapriyè Seyè a vre, epi men wa a geri, li vin jan li te ye anvan an.
7 Apre sa, wa a di pwofèt la konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje. Lèfini, m'a fè ou kado kichòy.
8 Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou ta mèt ban mwen mwatye nan tout richès ou yo, mwen p'ap mete pwent pye m' lakay ou. Mwen p'ap manje pen, ni mwen p'ap bwè dlo isit la.
9 Paske, Seyè a te ban mwen lòd pou m' pa ni manje ni bwè anyen, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te vini an pou m' tounen lakay mwen.
10 Se konsa li pran yon lòt wout pou l' tounen lakay li, li pa pran menm chemen li te pran lè li t'ap vini lavil Betèl la.
11 ¶ Nan tan sa a, te gen yon pwofèt ki te rete lavil Betèl. Li te granmoun anpil. Pitit gason l' yo vin rakonte l' tou sa pwofèt Bondye a te fè jou sa a lavil Betèl, ak tou sa li te di wa Jewoboram.
12 Pwofèt la mande yo ki wout yo wè l' pran. Pitit gason l' yo moutre l' chemen pwofèt Bondye ki te soti peyi Jida a te pran.
13 Li di pitit gason l' yo sele bourik li pou li. Yo sele bourik li a, li moute sou li,
14 li pati dèyè pwofèt Bondye a. Li jwenn li chita anba yon pye chenn. Li mande l': -Se ou menm pwofèt Bondye ki soti peyi Jida a? Nonm lan reponn: -Se mwen wi!
15 Li di l' konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje kichòy!
16 Men pwofèt peyi Jida a di l': -Non, m' pa ka tounen avè ou, ni m' pa ka al lakay ou. Lèfini, m' p'ap manje, m' p'ap bwè anyen avè ou isit la.
17 Paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' pa t' ni manje ni bwè anyen avè ou isit la, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te pase pou m' vini an pou m' tounen.
18 Lè sa a pwofèt lavil Betèl la di l': -Mwen menm tou, mwen se yon pwofèt tankou ou. Se Seyè a menm ki te voye yonn nan zanj li yo vin di m' pou m' fè ou tounen lakay ansanm avè m', lèfini pou m' ba ou manje, pou m' ba ou bwè! Men se manti pwofèt lavil Betèl la t'ap ba li.
19 Se konsa pwofèt peyi Jida a tounen lakay pwofèt Betèl la, li manje, li bwè avè l'.
20 Yo te chita bò tab la toujou lè Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Betèl la
21 ki pale byen move ak pwofèt peyi Jida a. Li di l' byen fò: -Seyè a di ou ou pa koute lòd li te ba ou, ou pa fè sa li te mande ou fè a.
22 Okontrè, ou tounen, ou manje, ou bwè yon kote li te ba ou lòd pa fè sa. Se poutèt sa w'ap mouri, lèfini, ou p'ap antere nan kavo fanmi ou.
23 ¶ Lè yo fin manje, pwofèt lavil Betèl la sele bourik pwofèt peyi Jida a pou li.
24 Pwofèt peyi Jida a pati. Li kontre ak yon lyon sou chemen li, lyon an touye l'. Kadav li te blayi atè a nan mitan chimen an. Bourik la ak lyon an te rete la bò kote l'.
25 Moun ki t'ap pase bò la wè kadav la atè nan chimen an ansanm ak lyon an bò kote l'. Yo antre lavil Betèl kote pwofèt granmoun lan te rete a, yo rakonte sa yo wè.
26 Lè pwofèt la tande sa, li di: -Se pwofèt ki te dezobeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li a. Konsa, Seyè a voye yon lyon atake l'. Lyon an kraze l', li touye l' jan Seyè a te di l' l'ap fè l' la.
27 Li di pitit gason l' yo. -Sele bourik la pou mwen! Yo sele bourik msye.
28 Msye pati, li jwenn kadav pwofèt peyi Jida a lonje atè a nan chimen an, bourik la ak lyon an kanpe bò kote l' toujou. Lyon an pa t' manje kadav la, ni li pa t' fè bourik la anyen.
29 Pwofèt lavil Betèl l'a ranmase kadav l'a, li mete l' sou bourik la, li pote l' tounen lavil Betèl. Li pran lapenn pou li. Lèfini, li antere l'.
30 Li mete kadav la nan kavo pwòp fanmi l'. Li menm ansanm ak pitit gason li yo kriye pou li, yo t'ap di: -Woy, frè mwen! Ou al kite m' vre?
31 Apre lantèman an, pwofèt la pale ak pitit gason l' yo. Li di yo: -Lè m'a mouri, n'a antere m' nan kavo sa a, n'a mete kadav mwen kole kole ak kadav pa l' la.
32 Pawòl Seyè a te ba li lòd di sou lotèl lavil Betèl la ak sou lòt kote y'ap fè sèvis nan lavil Samari yo gen pou rive vre.
33 Apre tout bagay sa yo, Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, donnen pi rèd nan vye bagay li t'ap fè yo. Li t'ap chwazi moun nan pèp la toujou pou sèvi prèt nan tanp li te bati pou zidòl yo. Depi yon moun te vle prèt, li te ba l' pouvwa a pou li te sèvi prèt nan tanp zidòl yo.
34 Se konsa, tout fanmi Jewoboram lan lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, tout fanmi sa a fini, li disparèt nèt sou latè.
14 ¶ Lè sa a, Abija, pitit gason wa Jewoboram lan, tonbe malad.
2 Jewoboram di madanm li: -Abiye ou yon jan pou pesonn pa rekonèt se madanm mwen ou ye, pati ale lavil Silo. Se la pwofèt Akija rete; se li ki te di m' mwen tapral gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
3 W'a pran dis pen, kèk gato ak yon bokal siwo myèl pou fè l' kado, ou v al lakay li. Sèten, l'a fè ou konnen sa ki pou rive pitit gason nou an.
4 Se konsa madan Jewoboram ale lakay Akija lavil Silo. Akija te granmoun anpil, li pa t' wè nan je l' ankò.
5 Seyè a te fè Akija konnen madan Jewoboram ap vin wè li pou pitit gason l' lan ki malad. Li te di l': -Lè madan Jewoboram vini, l'ap fè tèt li pase pou yon lòt moun. Ou menm, w'a di l' sa m'a mete nan bouch ou pou di l'. Lè madan Jewoboram rive, li fè tèt li pase pou yon lòt moun vre.
6 Men, lè Akija tande l' bri pye l' ap vini nan papòt la, li di l': -Antre non, madan Jewoboram. Poukisa w'ap fè tèt ou pase pou lòt moun konsa? Tout jan, mwen gen move nouvèl pou ou.
7 ¶ Ale di Jewoboram men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la voye di l': Mwen te chwazi ou nan mitan pèp la, mwen mete ou chèf sou pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
8 Mwen wete baton kòmandman nan men moun fanmi David yo, mwen ba ou li. Men, ou pa t' tankou David. sèvitè m' lan, ki te toujou koute lòd mwen te ba li, ki te mache ak kè kontan nan chemen mwen te ba li, ki te fè sa ki pou fè m' plezi ase.
9 Ou fè pi mal pase sa ki te chèf anvan ou yo. Ou sèvi lòt bondye, ou fè estati an kwiv pou yo, ou voye m' jete, ou fè m' fache.
10 Se poutèt sa, Jewoboram, mwen pral fè malè tonbe sou fanmi ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason nan fanmi ou, timoun kou granmoun. M'ap disparèt fanmi ou nèt nan peyi Izrayèl, y'ap bale yo voye jete tankou yo jete poupou.
11 Chen pral manje kadav moun nan fanmi ou ki va mouri nan lavil. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav sa ki va mouri andeyò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, madan Jewoboram, leve non, tounen lakay ou. Rive w'a rive lavil la, pitit la ap mouri.
13 Tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo va pran lapenn pou li, y'a antere l'. Nan tout fanmi Jewoboram lan, se li menm ase y'ap antere paske, nan tout fanmi an, se li menm ase ki te yon ti jan bon nan je Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
14 Seyè a pral mete yon lòt wa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ki pral disparèt fanmi Jewoboram lan. Se pou jòdi a wi sa m'ap di la a. Se pou koulye a menm.
15 Seyè a pral pini pèp Izrayèl la. Yo pral tranble tankou pye wozo k'ap tranble bò kouran dlo. Li pral dechouke pèp Izrayèl la nan bon peyi li te bay zansèt yo a, li pral gaye yo lòt bò larivyè Lefrat, paske yo fè Seyè a fache lè yo fè estati pou zidòl Astate a.
16 Seyè a pral lage pèp Izrayèl la paske Jewoboram te fè anpil peche, lèfini li te pote pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal tou.
17 Madan Jewoboram pati, li tounen lavil Tisra. Lè li fè sa l'ap antre lakay li, pitit la mouri.
18 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran lapenn pou pitit la, yo antere l', jan Seyè a te di sa nan bouch pwofèt Akija a.
19 Tout lòt bagay wa Jewoboram te fè yo, istwa lagè li te fè ak jan li te gouvènen peyi a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
20 Jewoboram te wa pandan venndezan. Lè li mouri, yo antere l'. Se Nadab, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
21 ¶ Woboram, pitit gason Salomon an, te gen karanteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen pandan disetan lavil Jerizalèm, lavil Seyè a te chwazi nan tout peyi Izrayèl la pou anplasman kote pou yo fè sèvis pou li a. Manman Woboram te moun lavil Amon. Li te rele Nama.
22 Moun peyi Jida yo fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Yo fè pi mal pase zansèt yo. Se konsa yo te lakòz kolè Seyè a tonbe sou yo.
23 Yo menm tou, yo bati kay pou fè sèvis pou zidòl, yo fè gwo moniman wòch ak estati pou Astate sou tèt mòn anba gwo pyebwa.
24 Sa ki pi rèd toujou, te gen fanm ak gason nan tout kote sa yo ap fè jennès nan sèvis pou zidòl. Moun peyi Jida yo te lage kò yo nan fè tout vye malpwòpte pèp Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la.
25 Woboram te gen senkan depi li te wa lè Chichak, wa peyi Lejip la, atake lavil Jerizalèm.
26 Li pran tout trezò ki te nan tanp lan ak nan palè wa a, ata gwo plak pwotèj an lò Salomon te fè fè yo.
27 Wa Woboram fè fè gwo plak pwotèj an kwiv pou mete nan plas yo. Lèfini, li renmèt yo nan men chèf gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay kay wa a.
28 Chak fwa wa a t'ap antre nan Tanp lan, chèf gad yo pran gwo plak pwotèj yo pote yo vini. Lè l' ale, yo pote yo tounen nan sal gad la.
29 Tout lòt bagay wa Woboram te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
30 Pandan tout tan sa a se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboran.
31 Lè Woboram mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi an nan lavil David la. Manman l' te rele Nama, se te moun lavil Amon. Se Abijam, pitit gason Woboram lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'.
1 Kings 12-14
New International Version
1 Kings 12-14
New International Version
Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)
12 Rehoboam went to Shechem,(B) for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from[a] Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke(D) on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then come back to me.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(E) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer,(F) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(G) the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “These people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged(H) you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord,(I) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah(J) the Shilonite.
16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(K) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(L)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(M) 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah,(N) Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[b](O) who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death.(P) King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David(Q) to this day.
20 When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.(R)
21 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mustered all Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war(S) against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam son of Solomon.
22 But this word of God came to Shemaiah(T) the man of God:(U) 23 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to all Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, 24 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered.
Golden Calves at Bethel and Dan
25 Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem(V) in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.[c](W)
26 Jeroboam thought to himself, “The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David. 27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem,(X) they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam.”
28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves.(Y) He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(Z) 29 One he set up in Bethel,(AA) and the other in Dan.(AB) 30 And this thing became a sin;(AC) the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.[d]
31 Jeroboam built shrines(AD) on high places and appointed priests(AE) from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth(AF) month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel,(AG) sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made. 33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel.(AH) So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.
The Man of God From Judah
13 By the word of the Lord a man of God(AI) came from Judah to Bethel,(AJ) as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. 2 By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: ‘A son named Josiah(AK) will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places(AL) who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” 3 That same day the man of God gave a sign:(AM) “This is the sign the Lord has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out.”
4 When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. 5 Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord.
6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede(AN) with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.
7 The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me for a meal, and I will give you a gift.”(AO)
8 But the man of God answered the king, “Even if you were to give me half your possessions,(AP) I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread(AQ) or drink water here. 9 For I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’” 10 So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
11 Now there was a certain old prophet living in Bethel, whose sons came and told him all that the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what he had said to the king. 12 Their father asked them, “Which way did he go?” And his sons showed him which road the man of God from Judah had taken. 13 So he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled the donkey for him, he mounted it 14 and rode after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”
“I am,” he replied.
15 So the prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat.”
16 The man of God said, “I cannot turn back and go with you, nor can I eat bread(AR) or drink water with you in this place. 17 I have been told by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
18 The old prophet answered, “I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the Lord:(AS) ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” (But he was lying(AT) to him.) 19 So the man of God returned with him and ate and drank in his house.
20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the Lord came to the old prophet who had brought him back. 21 He cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have defied(AU) the word of the Lord and have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. 22 You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you not to eat or drink. Therefore your body will not be buried in the tomb of your ancestors.’”
23 When the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his donkey for him. 24 As he went on his way, a lion(AV) met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying on the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it. 25 Some people who passed by saw the body lying there, with the lion standing beside the body, and they went and reported it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who defied(AW) the word of the Lord. The Lord has given him over to the lion, which has mauled him and killed him, as the word of the Lord had warned him.”
27 The prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they did so. 28 Then he went out and found the body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey. 29 So the prophet picked up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him. 30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb,(AX) and they mourned over him and said, “Alas, my brother!”(AY)
31 After burying him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried; lay my bones(AZ) beside his bones. 32 For the message he declared by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places(BA) in the towns of Samaria(BB) will certainly come true.”(BC)
33 Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways,(BD) but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts(BE) of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places. 34 This was the sin(BF) of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction(BG) from the face of the earth.
Ahijah’s Prophecy Against Jeroboam
14 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, 2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go, disguise yourself, so you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah(BH) the prophet is there—the one who told me I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves of bread(BI) with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.” 4 So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh.
Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. 5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else.”
6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense?(BJ) I have been sent to you with bad news. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:(BK) ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler(BL) over my people Israel. 8 I tore(BM) the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right(BN) in my eyes. 9 You have done more evil(BO) than all who lived before you.(BP) You have made for yourself other gods, idols(BQ) made of metal; you have aroused(BR) my anger and turned your back on me.(BS)
10 “‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster(BT) on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel—slave or free.[e](BU) I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.(BV) 11 Dogs(BW) will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds(BX) will feed on those who die in the country. The Lord has spoken!’
12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the Lord, the God of Israel, has found anything good.(BY)
14 “The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen.[f] 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(BZ) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(CA) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(CB) poles.[g] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(CC) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah.(CD) As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died. 18 They buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, as the Lord had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
19 The other events of Jeroboam’s reign, his wars and how he ruled, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel. 20 He reigned for twenty-two years and then rested with his ancestors. And Nadab his son succeeded him as king.
Rehoboam King of Judah(CE)
21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.(CF)
22 Judah(CG) did evil in the eyes of the Lord. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger(CH) more than those who were before them had done. 23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones(CI) and Asherah poles(CJ) on every high hill and under every spreading tree.(CK) 24 There were even male shrine prostitutes(CL) in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable(CM) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked(CN) Jerusalem. 26 He carried off the treasures of the temple(CO) of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields(CP) Solomon had made. 27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.(CQ) 28 Whenever the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards bore the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.
29 As for the other events of Rehoboam’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 30 There was continual warfare(CR) between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 31 And Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.(CS) And Abijah[h] his son succeeded him as king.
