5 And the Lord said unto Ahi´jah, Behold, the wife of Jerobo´am cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahi´jah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jerobo´am; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7 Go, tell Jerobo´am, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
9 but hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10 therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jerobo´am, and will cut off from Jerobo´am him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jerobo´am, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Him that dieth of Jerobo´am in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it.
