The death of Yarave’am’s son

1 Ki 14:1–18

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 Yisrael’s God Yahweh, ‘I chose you out from the people and placed you as a leader over my people Yisrael, 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 Yisrael 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 Yisrael’s God Yahweh found good in. 14In the future, Yahweh will appoint for himself, a king over Yisrael who will get rid of Yarave’am’s descendantsin fact it’s beginning to come about even now. 15And Yahweh will strike Yisrael just like the reeds bend over in the swamps, and he’ll uproot Yisrael 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 Yisrael over to their enemies because of Yarave’am’s sins and how he encouraged Yisrael 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 Yisrael mourned for the boy and he was buried.
