14:1 The death of Yarave’am’s son

14At that time, one of Yarave’am’s sons, Aviyyah, became very sick 2and Yarave’am told his wife, “Go and get changed so that no one will recognise you as my wife. Then go to Shiloh where the prophet Ahiyyah is—he’s the one who prophesied that I’d become king. 3Take ten loaves of bread and some cakes and a jar of honey to give to him. He’ll tell you what will happen to the boy.”

4So his wife got ready and went to Ahiyyah’s house at Shiloh. Ahiyyah was now very elderly and not able to see, 5but Yahweh had told him, “Listen, Yarave’am’s wife will be coming to ask for your guidance about her son, because he’s sick. I want you to tell her so-and-so. And when she comes, she won’t be dressed like a queen.”

6So as soon as Ahiyyah heard her walk through the doorway, he said, “Come in, wife of Yarave’am. Why did you get changed like that? Now I’ve been instructed to pass bad news onto you— 7go back and give Yarave’am this message from Israel’s God Yahweh, ‘I chose you out from the people and placed you as a leader over my people Israel, 8and I tore the kingdom away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you haven’t been like my servant David who obeyed my instructions and followed me with integrity—only doing what he knew that I approved of. 9However, you’ve done more evil things than any of those who ruled before you. You’ve rejected me and made cast images of other gods, and have provoked me into anger. 10Because of that, I’m about to bring calamity to your family: I’ll cause all your male descendants to die, either before or after they’ve left home. I’ll eliminate your family just like dried dung burns until it’s all gone.[ref] 11The family members who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. All this comes from Yahweh.’

12So go back home, but as soon as you set foot in the city, your son will die. 13All Israel will mourn for him and they’ll bury him. He’ll be the only one of your children to be buried, because out of all of Yarave’am’s descendants, he’s the only one that Israel’s God Yahweh found good in. 14In the future, Yahweh will appoint for himself, a king over Israel who will get rid of Yarave’am’s descendantsin fact it’s beginning to come about even now. 15And Yahweh will strike Israel just like the reeds bend over in the swamps, and he’ll uproot Israel from this good soil that he gave to their ancestors and he’ll scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they made their Asherah statues which provoked Yahweh to anger. 16He will hand Israel over to their enemies because of Yarave’am’s sins and how he encouraged Israel to sin.”

17So Yarave’am’s wife left and went home to Tirtsah. As she entered the doorway of their home, their son died. 18Just as Yahweh had told them, all Israel mourned for the boy and he was buried.

14:19 Yarave’am’s death

19Everything else that Yarave’am did, including the record of wars that his army fought and how he ruled, is written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel. 20Yarave’am reigned for twenty-two years, then he died and was buried with his ancestors, and his son Nadav replaced him as king.

14:21 Rehavam (Rehoboam) rules in Yehudah

(2 Chr. 11:5–12:15)

21Meanwhile, Shelomoh’s son Rehavam reigned in Yehudah. He was forty-one when he started reigning, and he reigned for seventeen years from Yerushalem—the city that Yahweh had chosen to associate his name with out of all the tribes of Israel. Rehavam’s mother was Naamah the Ammonite.

22The people of Yehudah did what Yahweh had decided was evilin fact they made him more jealous (by worshipping other gods) than their ancestors ever had. 23They even built hilltop temples and sacred pillars and poles on every high hill and under every large evergreen tree.[ref] 24There were also male prostitutes associated with them, and the Israelis did the same abhorrent things as the nations that Yahweh had removed ahead of their entering the land.[ref]

25In the fifth year of King Rehavam’s reign, Egypt’s King Shishak attacked Yerushalem[ref] 26and took away the valuables from Yahweh’s temple, and the king’s palace. He took everything of value, including all the gold shields that Shelomoh had made.[ref] 27To replace them, King Rehavam made some bronze shields and assigned them to the officers who protect the entrance to the palace. 28Whenever the king would enter the temple, the guards would quickly take the shields there, and when he left, they’d run them back to the palace.

29Everything else that Rehavam did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 30Rehavam and Yarave’am were in a continual state of war during their reigns. 31Then Rehavam (his mother was Naamah the Ammonite) died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David, and his son Abiyyam replaced him as king.


21and_Rəḩaⱱˊām the_son_of Shəlomoh he_reigned in/on/at/with_Yəhūdāh/(Judah) [was]_a_son_of forty and_one year[s] Rəḩaⱱˊām in/on/at/with_became_king_he and_seven_of teen year[s] he_reigned in/on/at/with_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) the_city where he_had_chosen YHWH to_put DOM his/its_name there from_all the_tribes_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_name_of his/its_mother [was]_Naˊₐmāh the_ˊAmmōnī.

30And_war it_was between Rəḩaⱱˊām and_between Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) all_of the_days.
31And_ Rəḩaⱱˊām _slept with fathers_of_his and_buried with fathers_of_his in/on/at/with_city_of Dāvid and_name_of his/its_mother [was]_Naˊₐmāh the_ˊAmmōnī and_ ʼAⱱiyyām _became_king his/its_son in_place_his.
