1 Kings 14:18
Compare all
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.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
