1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people. 3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. 4 And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman. 6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes; 9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: 10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it. 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into 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 some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now. 15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. 16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17 And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; 18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 19 And 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 days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: 26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house. 28 And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
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 all their days. 31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
1 那时， 耶罗波安的儿子亚比雅病了。
2 耶罗波安对他的妻子说： "你起来改装， 使人认不出你是耶罗波安的妻子。到示罗去， 有亚希雅先知在那里， 他曾对我说， 我必作这民的王。
3 你要带十个饼， 一些饼干和一瓶蜜去见他， 他会告诉你孩子将要怎样。"
4 耶罗波安的妻子就这样行了。她动身往示罗去， 到了亚希雅的家； 亚希雅因为年纪老迈， 眼睛昏花， 不能看见。
5 耶和华对亚希雅说： "看哪， 耶罗波安的妻子要来向你求问关于她儿子的事， 因为他病了。你要这样这样告诉她。她进来的时候， 必装作别的妇人。"
6 她刚进门的时候， 亚希雅就听见她的脚步声， 就说： "耶罗波安的妻子啊！ 进来吧！ 你为什么要这样改装呢？我奉差派要把凶信告诉你。
7 你去告诉耶罗波安： ‘耶和华以色列的 神这样说： 我从人民中提拔了你， 又立了你作治理我的子民以色列的领袖。
8 我把国从大卫家夺过来， 赏赐给你； 你却不像我仆人大卫那样谨守我的诫命， 一心跟从我， 行我看为正的事。
9 你反倒行恶， 比那些在你以前的更坏； 又去为自己制造了别的神和铸造偶像惹我发怒， 把我丢在背后。
10 因此， 我必使灾祸临到耶罗波安的家； 我必剪除以色列中所有属于耶罗波安的男丁， 无论是自由的或是不自由的； 我必铲除耶罗波安的家， 像人扫除粪土一样， 直到完全除尽为止。
11 属于耶罗波安的人， 死在城里的， 必被狗吃掉； 死在田野的， 必给空中的飞鸟吃掉。因为这是耶和华说的。’
12 所以你起来， 回家去吧， 你的脚一进城， 你的孩子就必死亡。
13 以色列众人要为他举哀， 把他埋葬； 属耶罗波安的人中， 只有他可以入葬坟墓； 因为在耶罗波安的家中， 只有他向耶和华以色列的 神显出善行。
14 耶和华必为自己兴起一个王治理以色列， 他必剪除耶罗波安家， 今天就是时候了， 就是现在！
15 耶和华必击打以色列人， 他们就摆动， 像芦苇在水中摆动一样。他要把以色列人从他赐给他们列祖的这块美地上拔出来， 把他们分散在幼发拉底河那边， 因为他们做了亚舍拉， 惹耶和华发怒。
16 为了耶罗波安所犯的罪， 又为了他使以色列人所犯的罪， 耶和华必丢弃以色列人。"
17 耶罗波安的妻子动身离去， 回到得撒； 她一踏进门槛， 孩子就死了。
18 以色列众人把他埋葬了， 又为他举哀， 好像耶和华借着他的仆人亚希雅先知所说的话一样。
19 耶罗波安其余的事迹， 他怎样争战， 怎样作王， 都写在以色列诸王的年代志上。
20 耶罗波安作王的日子共二十二年， 就与他的列祖同睡。他的儿子拿答接续他作王。
21 所罗门的儿子罗波安在犹大作王。他登基的时候， 是四十一岁； 他在耶路撒冷， 就是耶和华从以色列各支派中所拣选， 在那里立他名的城， 作王十七年。他的母亲名叫拿玛， 是亚扪人。
22 犹大人行耶和华看为恶的事； 他们所犯的罪， 惹动他的妒忿比他们的列祖更厉害。
23 他们又为自己在各高冈上， 各茂盛树下建造邱坛、神柱和亚舍拉。
24 国内又有男妓， 他们仿效耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的外族人， 行了一切可憎的事。
25 罗波安王第五年， 埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷。
26 他夺去了耶和华的宝物和王宫的宝物， 并且把所有的东西都夺去了； 又把所罗门所做的一切金盾牌都夺了去。
27 罗波安王做了铜盾牌代替那些金盾牌； 交给看守宫门的卫兵队长看管。
28 王每次进耶和华殿的时候， 卫兵就拿着这些盾牌， 随后又把盾牌送回护卫室里。
29 罗波安其余的事迹和他所行的一切， 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？
30 罗波安与耶罗波安之间常有战争。
31 罗波安与他的列祖同睡， 与他的列祖一同埋葬在大卫的城里。他的母亲名叫拿玛， 是亚扪人； 他的儿子亚比央接续他作王。
