16 And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, awho sinned and who made Israel sin.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to aTirzah. bWhen she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, aaccording 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 amade 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. aThen Nadab his son reigned in his place.
Rehoboam Reigns in Judah
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. aRehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city bwhich the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. cHis mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.
22 aNow Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they bprovoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.
23 For they also built for themselves ahigh places, bsacred pillars, and cwooden images on every high hill and dunder every green tree.
