10. So I am ready to bring disaster on the dynasty of Jeroboam. I will cut off every last male belonging to Jeroboam in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated. I will burn up the dynasty of Jeroboam, just as one burns manure until it is completely consumed.
11. Dogs will eat the members of your family who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.”’ Indeed, the Lord has announced it!
12. “As for you, get up and go home. When you set foot in the city, the boy will die.
13. All Israel will mourn him and bury him. He is the only one in Jeroboam’s family who will receive a decent burial, for he is the only one in whom the Lord God of Israel found anything good.
14. The Lord will raise up a king over Israel who will cut off Jeroboam’s dynasty. It is ready to happen!
15. The Lord will attack Israel, making it like a reed that sways in the water. He will remove Israel from this good land he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they angered the Lord by making Asherah poles.
16. He will hand Israel over to their enemies because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he made Israel commit.”
17. So Jeroboam’s wife got up and went back to Tirzah. As she crossed the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18. All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had predicted through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
19. The rest of the events of Jeroboam’s reign, including the details of his battles and rule, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel.
20. Jeroboam ruled for twenty-two years; then he passed away. His son Nadab replaced him as king.
21. Now Rehoboam son of Solomon ruled in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home. His mother was an Ammonite woman named Naamah.
22. Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord. They made him more jealous by their sins than their ancestors had done.
