14 “Moreover the Lord will raise up a king over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.
15 For the Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and He will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the Lord to anger.
16 He shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam who sinned and who led Israel to sin.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed and came to Tirzah. As she arrived at the threshold of the door, the child died,
18 and they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years, and then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead.
