1 Kings 14

Sambungan riwayat Yerobeam
14:1 Pada waktu itu Abia, anak Yerobeam, jatuh sakit. 14:2 Lalu Yerobeam berkata kepada isterinya: "Berkemaslah! Menyamarlah, supaya jangan diketahui orang, bahwa engkau isteri Yerobeam, dan pergilah ke Silo. Bukankah di sana tinggal nabi Ahia! Dialah yang telah mengatakan tentang aku, bahwa aku akan menjadi raja atas bangsa ini. 14:3 Bawalah sepuluh roti, kue kismis, dan sebuli-buli air madu, dan pergilah kepadanya. Dia akan memberitahukan kepadamu, apa yang akan terjadi dengan anak ini." 14:4 Isteri Yerobeam berbuat demikian. Ia berkemas, pergi ke Silo dan masuk ke rumah Ahia. Ahia tidak dapat melihat lagi, sebab matanya sudah kabur karena ia sudah tua. 14:5 Tetapi TUHAN telah berfirman kepada Ahia: "Bahwasanya isteri Yerobeam datang untuk menanyakan kepadamu perihal anaknya, sebab anak itu sedang sakit. Begini-begini harus kaukatakan kepadanya." Ketika perempuan itu masuk, berbuatlah ia seolah-olah ia orang lain. 14:6 Tetapi segera sesudah Ahia mendengar bunyi langkah perempuan itu, sementara melangkah masuk pintu, berkatalah ia: "Masuklah, hai isteri Yerobeam! Mengapakah engkau berbuat seolah-olah engkau orang lain? Aku disuruh menyampaikan pesan yang keras kepadamu. 14:7 Pergilah, katakan kepada Yerobeam: Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Aku telah meninggikan engkau dari tengah-tengah bangsa itu, dan mengangkat engkau menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel; 14:8 Aku telah mengoyakkan kerajaan dari keluarga Daud dan memberikannya kepadamu, tetapi engkau tidak seperti hamba-Ku Daud yang tetap mentaati segala perintah-Ku dan mengikuti Aku dengan segenap hatinya dan hanya melakukan apa yang benar di mata-Ku. 14:9 Sebab engkau telah melakukan perbuatan jahat lebih dari semua orang yang mendahului engkau dan telah membuat bagimu allah lain dan patung-patung tuangan, sehingga engkau menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku, bahkan engkau telah membelakangi Aku. 14:10 Maka Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka kepada keluarga Yerobeam. Aku akan melenyapkan dari pada Yerobeam setiap orang laki-laki, baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya di Israel. Aku akan menyapu keluarga Yerobeam seperti orang menyapu tahi sampai habis. 14:11 Setiap orang dari pada Yerobeam yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing dan yang mati di padang akan dimakan burung yang di udara. Sebab TUHAN telah mengatakannya. 14:12 Tetapi bangunlah dan pulang ke rumahmu. Pada saat kakimu melangkah masuk kota, anak itu akan mati. 14:13 Seluruh Israel akan meratapi dia dan menguburkan dia, sebab hanya dialah dari pada keluarga Yerobeam yang akan mendapat kubur, sebab di antara keluarga Yerobeam hanya padanyalah terdapat sesuatu yang baik di mata TUHAN, Allah Israel. 14:14 Dan TUHAN akan membangkitkan bagi-Nya seorang raja atas Israel yang akan melenyapkan keluarga Yerobeam -- seperti kenyataan sekarang ini. 14:15 Kemudian TUHAN akan menghajar orang Israel, sehingga tergoyah-goyah seperti gelagah di air dan Ia akan menyentakkan mereka dari pada tanah yang baik ini yang telah diberikan-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka; Ia akan menyerakkan mereka ke seberang sungai Efrat sana, oleh karena mereka telah membuat tiang-tiang berhala mereka dan dengan demikian menyakiti hati TUHAN. 14:16 Ia akan lepas tangan terhadap orang Israel oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukan Yerobeam dan yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula." 14:17 Sesudah itu bangkitlah isteri Yerobeam dan pergi, lalu sampailah ia ke Tirza. Pada saat ia masuk melangkahi ambang pintu rumah, matilah anak itu. 14:18 Mereka menguburkannya, dan seluruh Israel meratapi dia sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, nabi Ahia. 14:19 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yerobeam, bagaimana ia berperang dan bagaimana ia memerintah, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel. 14:20 Lamanya Yerobeam memerintah ada dua puluh dua tahun, kemudian ia mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Sambungan riwayat Rehabeam
14:21 Adapun Rehabeam, anak Salomo, ia memerintah di Yehuda. Rehabeam berumur empat puluh satu tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja, dan tujuh belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem, kota yang dipilih TUHAN dari antara segala suku Israel untuk membuat nama-Nya tinggal di sana. Nama ibunya ialah Naama, seorang perempuan Amon. 14:22 Tetapi orang Yehuda melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN dan mereka menimbulkan cemburu-Nya dengan dosa yang diperbuat mereka, lebih dari pada segala yang dilakukan nenek moyang mereka. 14:23 Sebab merekapun juga mendirikan tempat-tempat pengorbanan dan tugu-tugu berhala dan tiang-tiang berhala di atas setiap bukit yang tinggi dan di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun. 14:24 Bahkan ada pelacuran bakti di negeri itu. Mereka berlaku sesuai dengan segala perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalau TUHAN dari orang Israel. 14:25 Tetapi pada tahun kelima zaman raja Rehabeam, majulah Sisak, raja Mesir, menyerang Yerusalem. 14:26 Ia merampas barang-barang perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN dan barang-barang perbendaharaan rumah raja; semuanya dirampasnya. Ia merampas juga segala perisai emas yang dibuat Salomo. 14:27 Sebagai gantinya raja Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai tembaga, yang dipercayakannya kepada pemimpin-pemimpin bentara yang menjaga pintu istana raja. 14:28 Setiap kali raja masuk ke rumah TUHAN, bentara-bentara membawa masuk perisai-perisai itu, dan mereka pula yang mengembalikannya ke kamar jaga para bentara. 14:29 Selebihnya dari riwayat Rehabeam dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? 14:30 Dan terus-menerus perang ada antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam. 14:31 Kemudian Rehabeam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Nama ibunya ialah Naama, seorang perempuan Amon. Maka Abiam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

14:1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet [is] there, who told me that [I would be] king over this people.
14:3 "Also take with you ten loaves, [some] cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what will become of the child."
14:4 And Jeroboam's wife did so; she arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were glazed by reason of his age.
14:5 Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he [is] sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend [to be] another [woman]."
14:6 And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend [to be] another [person]? For I [have been] sent to you [with] bad [news].
14:7 "Go, tell Jeroboam, `Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you ruler over My people Israel,
14:8 "and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and [yet] you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only [what was] right in My eyes;
14:9 "but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back
14:10 "therefore behold! I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, bond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone.
14:11 "The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field; for the LORD has spoken!"'
14:12 "Arise therefore, go to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
14:13 "And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14:14 "Moreover the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; this is the day. What? Even now!
14:15 "For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water. 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 wooden images, provoking the LORD to anger.
14:16 "And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who made Israel sin."
14:17 Then Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
14:18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
14:19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, indeed they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
14:20 The period that Jeroboam reigned [was] twentytwo years. So he rested with his fathers. Then Nadab his son reigned in his place.
14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] fortyone years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name [was] Naamah, an Ammonitess.
14:22 Now Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.
14:23 For they also built for themselves high places, [sacred] pillars, and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree.
14:24 And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
14:25 It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made.
14:27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed [them] to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king's house.
14:28 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.
14:29 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?
14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.
14:31 So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. His mother's name [was] Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then Abijam his son reigned in his place.
