1st Kings Chapter 14 1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise, and disguise yourself, that it be not known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people. 3 Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child." 4 Jeroboam's wife did so; she arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age. 5 And YAHWEH said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus shall you say to her." When she came, she pretended to be another woman. 6 But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with heavy tidings for you. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says YAHWEH, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you leader over my people Israel, 8 and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you; and yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes, 9 but you have done evil above all that were before you and have gone and made for yourself other gods, and molten images, provoking me to anger, and have cast me behind your back; 10 therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both bond and free in Israel, and will utterly consume the house of Jeroboam, as a man burns up dung until it is all gone. 11 Any one belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and any one who dies in the open country the birds of the air shall eat; for YAHWEH has spoken it."' 12 Arise therefore, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to YAHWEH, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 14 Moreover YAHWEH will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today. And henceforth 15 YAHWEH will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherim, provoking YAHWEH to anger. 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and which he made Israel to sin." 17 Then Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. And as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. 18 And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of YAHWEH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet. 19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 20 And the time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 21 Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YAHWEH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 22 And Judah did what was evil in the sight of YAHWEH, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree; 24 and there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which YAHWEH drove out before the people of Israel. 25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; 26 he took away the treasures of the house of YAHWEH and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made; 27 and King Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house. 28 And as often as the king went into the house of YAHWEH, the guard bore them and brought them back to the guardroom. 29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

Chronicles or Kings 2 Chronicles 11:15 and he appointed his own priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made. 2 Chronicles 19:3 Nevertheless some good is found in you, for you destroyed the Asherahs out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God." 2 Chronicles 13:2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 2 Chronicles 13:3 Abijah went out to battle having an army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand picked men; and Jeroboam drew up his line of battle against him with eight hundred thousand picked mighty warriors. 2 Chronicles 13:4 Then Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel! 2 Chronicles 13:5 Ought you not to know that YAHWEH God of Israel gave the kingship over Israel for ever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt? 2 Chronicles 13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord; 2 Chronicles 13:7 and certain worthless scoundrels gathered about him and defied Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and irresolute and could not withstand them. 2 Chronicles 13:8 "And now you think to withstand the kingdom of YAHWEH in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. 2 Chronicles 13:9 Have you not driven out the priests of YAHWEH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are no gods. 2 Chronicles 13:10 But as for us, YAHWEH is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to YAHWEH who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service. 2 Chronicles 13:11 They offer to YAHWEH every morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out the showbread on the table of pure gold, and care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may burn every evening; for we keep the charge of YAHWEH our God, but you have forsaken him. 2 Chronicles 13:12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against YAHWEH, the God of your fathers; for you cannot succeed." 2 Chronicles 13:13 Jeroboam had sent an ambush around to come on them from behind; thus his troops were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 2 Chronicles 13:14 And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to YAHWEH, and the priests blew the trumpets. 2 Chronicles 13:15 Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 2 Chronicles 13:16 The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand. 2 Chronicles 13:17 Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand picked men. 2 Chronicles 13:18 Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon YAHWEH, the God of their fathers. 2 Chronicles 13:19 And Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages and Jeshanah with its villages and Ephron with its villages. 2 Chronicles 13:20 Jeroboam did not recover his power in the days of Abijah; and YAHWEH smote him, and he died. 2 Chronicles 12:13 So King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YAHWEH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 2 Chronicles 12:1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and was strong, he forsook the law of YAHWEH, and all Israel with him. 2 Chronicles 12:14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek YAHWEH. 2 Chronicles 12:2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to YAHWEH, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 2 Chronicles 12:3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt Libyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians. 2 Chronicles 12:4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 12:5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says YAHWEH, 'You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.'" 2 Chronicles 12:6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, " YAHWEH is righteous." 2 Chronicles 12:7 When YAHWEH saw that they humbled themselves, the word of YAHWEH came to Shemaiah: "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 2 Chronicles 12:8 Nevertheless they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries." 2 Chronicles 12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of YAHWEH and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made; 2 Chronicles 12:10 and King Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house. 2 Chronicles 12:11 And as often as the king went into the house of YAHWEH, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom. 2 Chronicles 12:12 And when he humbled himself the wrath of YAHWEH turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah. 2 Chronicles 12:13 So King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YAHWEH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 2 Chronicles 12:14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek YAHWEH. 2 Chronicles 12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 2 Chronicles 12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

Samuel 1 Samuel 28:8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments, and went, he and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine for me by a spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you." 2 Samuel 14:2 And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments; do not anoint yourself with oil, but behave like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead; 1 Samuel 9:7 Then Saul said to his servant, "But if we go, what can we bring the man? For the bread in our sacks is gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What have we?" 1 Samuel 9:8 The servant answered Saul again, "Here, I have with me the fourth part of a shekel of silver, and I will give it to the man of God, to tell us our way." 2 Samuel 12:7 Nathan said to David, "You are the man. Thus says YAHWEH, the God of Israel, 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul; 1 Samuel 3:19 And Samuel grew, and YAHWEH was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of YAHWEH. 1 Samuel 3:21 And YAHWEH appeared again at Shiloh, for YAHWEH revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of YAHWEH. 1 Samuel 4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. 1 Samuel 9:12 They answered, "He is; behold, he is just ahead of you. Make haste; he has come just now to the city, because the people have a sacrifice today on the high place. 1 Samuel 9:13 As soon as you enter the city, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those eat who are invited. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately." 1 Samuel 9:14 So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, they saw Samuel coming out toward them on his way up to the high place. 1 Samuel 9:19 Samuel answered Saul, "I am the seer; go up before me to the high place, for today you shall eat with me, and in the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is on your mind. 1 Samuel 9:25 And when they came down from the high place into the city, a bed was spread for Saul upon the roof, and he lay down to sleep. 1 Samuel 10:5 After that you shall come to Gibeathelohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and there, as you come to the city, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. 1 Samuel 10:13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place. 1 Samuel 8:11 He said, "These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots; 1 Samuel 22:17 And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of YAHWEH; because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of YAHWEH.
