14 For this reason the Lord will raise up a king over Israel who will eliminate the house of Jeroboam. This begins today. What’s that? Even now!
15 The Lord will strike Israel so that it shakes like a reed in water. He will uproot Israel from this fertile land that he gave to their ancestors and their offspring, and he will scatter them across the Euphrates River, because they made the Lord angry by making their sacred poles.
16 Because of the sins Jeroboam committed, and because he made Israel sin too, God will give Israel up."
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife left and went to Tirzah. When she stepped across the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 All Israel buried him and mourned him in agreement with the Lord’s word spoken through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
19 The rest of Jeroboam’s deeds—how he fought and how he ruled—are written in the official records of Israel’s kings.
20 Jeroboam ruled twenty-two years and he lay down with his ancestors. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
