14 The Lord is going to place a king over Israel who will put an end to Jeroboam's dynasty.
15 The Lord will punish Israel, and she will shake like a reed shaking in a stream. He will uproot the people of Israel from this good land which he gave to their ancestors, and he will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have aroused his anger by making idols of the goddess Asherah.
16 The Lord will abandon Israel because Jeroboam sinned and led the people of Israel into sin.”
17 Jeroboam's wife went back to Tirzah. Just as she entered her home, the child died.
18 The people of Israel mourned for him and buried him, as the Lord had said through his servant, the prophet Ahijah.
19 Everything else that King Jeroboam did, the wars he fought and how he ruled, are all recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboam ruled as king for twenty-two years. He died and was buried, and his son Nadab succeeded him as king.
