1 Tanī laikā saslima Abija, Jerobeāma dēls.
2 Un Jerobeāms sacīja savai sievai: „Celies, lūdzu, un pārģērbies, lai neviens tevi nepazīst, ka tu esi Jerobeāma sieva, un aizej uz Šilo; tur atrodas pravietis Ahija, kas par mani vēstīja, ka es kļūšot ķēniņš pār šo tautu.
3 Un paņem sev rokā līdzi desmit maizes klaipus un cepumus, arī trauciņu medus un aiznes to viņam: tas pateiks, kas zēnam vainas.“
4 Un Jerobeāma sieva tā arī izdarīja: viņa cēlās un nonāca Šilo pilsētā un iegāja Ahijas namā. Bet Ahija pats to nevarēja saredzēt, jo viņa acis bija vecuma dēļ kļuvušas vājas.
5 Bet tas Kungs sacīja Ahijam: „Redzi, te ir Jerobeāma sieva pie tevis atnākusi, lai pie tevis meklētu kādu padomu sava slimā dēla lietā. Bet tev nu tā un tā ar viņu jārunā.“ Un tanī pat brīdī viņa arī ienāca, bet tā bija pārģērbusies,
6 Un notika, tiklīdz Ahija sadzirdēja viņas soļus, kad tā ienāca durvīs, tad tas arī sacīja: „Nāc vien, Jerobeāma sieva, kāpēc tu tā sevi esi padarījusi nepazīstamu? Man tomēr tev jāpaziņo kaut kas bargs:
7 Ej un saki Jerobeāmam, ka tā saka tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: Tādēļ, ka Es tevi esmu paaugstinājis tautas vidū un ka Es tevi esmu iecēlis par vadoni pār savu tautu Israēlu,
8 Un tādēļ, ka Es atrāvu ķēniņa valsti Dāvidam, kas gan manus baušļus sargāja un man ari sekoja no visas savas sirds, cenzdamies darīt tikai to, kas ir taisns manās acīs, un Es to iedevu tev, kas tu tāds neesi bijis, —un tādēļ, ka,
9 Neraugoties uz visu to, tu tomēr esi darījis ļauna vairāk nekā visi tie, kas ir bijuši pirms tevis, jo tu aizgāji un darināji sev svešus dievus un tu sev izlēji tēlus, lai Mani apvainotu un tu Mani esi atmetis un atstājis aiz savas muguras,
10 Un tad nu redzi, tagad Es likšu nelaimei nākt pār Jerobeāma namu, un Es izdeldēšu Jerobeāmam ikvienu vīrieti—ir vājo ir stipro—Israēlā. Un Es iznīcināšu Jerobeāma pēctečus tā, kā mēslus mēdz izmēzt, tiekāms tie visi būs pagalam.
11 Kas no Jerobeāma pēctečiem mirs pilsētā, tos ēdīs suņi, bet kas Jerobeāmam nomirs uz lauka, to debesu putni ēdīs, jo tas Kungs ir runājis!
12 Bet tu piecelies, atgriezies savā namā, un kamēr tu saviem soļiem nonāksi pilsētā, tikmēr tavs dēls būs miris.
13 Un viss Israēls to apraudās un viņu apraks. Bet tas būs vienīgais Jerobeāma ģimenē, kas nonāks kapā, tādēļ ka viņā kaut kas labs visā Jerobeāma namā pret to Kungu, Israēla Dievu, ir atrasts.
14 Tad tas Kungs pats sev iecels ķēniņu pār Israēlu, kas iznīcinās Jero-beāma namu, proti, jau šodien.
15 Un tas Kungs sitīs Israēlu tā, kā niedre tiek kustināta ūdenī, un Viņš izravēs Israēlu no šīs labās zemes, kupu Viņš bija devis viņu tēviem, un Viņš tos izkaisīs viņpus Eifratas, tādēļ ka viņi sev ir darinājuši savas ašēras, to Kungu apvainodami.
16 Un Viņš atmetīs Jerobeāma grēku dēļ Israēlu: to grēku dēļ, ar kādiem tas pats ir apgrēkojies, un to dēļ, uz kuriem tas Israēlu ir pavedinājis!“
17 Un Jerobeāma sieva piecēlās, un gāja, un nonāca Tircā, un tiklīdz tā pienāca pie nama sliekšņa, ka arī zēns nomira.
18 Un to apraka un apraudāja viss Israēls, gluži tā, kā tas Kungs ar savu vārdu ar sava kalpa, pravieša Ahijas, starpniecību bija runājis.
19 Un, kas vēl par Jerobeāmu ir vēstīts: kā viņš karojis un kā tas kā ķēniņš ir valdījis, redzi, tas viss ir aprakstīts Israēla ķēniņu Laiku grāmatā.
20 Bet laiks, cik ilgi Jerobeāms tika valdījis, bija divdesmit un divi gadi. Tad tas apgūlās pie saviem tēviem, un viņa dēls Nadabs kļuva ķēniņš viņa vietā.
21 Bet Rehabeāms, Salamana dēls, bija ķēniņš pār Jūdu. Rehabeāmam bija četrdesmit un viens gads, kad tas kļuva ķēniņš. Bet septiņpadsmit gadus tas bija ķēniņš Jeruzālemē, tanī pilsētā, kuru tas Kungs sev bija izvēlējis no visu Israēla cilšu vidus, lai tur liktu dzīvot savam vārdam. Un viņa mātes vārds bija Naema, un tā bija amoniete.
22 Bet Jūda darīja to, kas bija ļauns tā Kunga acīs. Un viņi To vēl vairāk sakaitināja nekā visi viņu tēvi ar grēkiem, kādus tie darīja.
23 Arī viņi sev uzcēla ir augstieņu svētnīcas, ir piemiņas stabus, ir ašēras uz katras augstienes, kas vien pacēlās augstāk, un zem katra zaļoksnēja koka.
24 Un arī netiklības piekopēji bija tanī zemē. Un tie piekopa visas negantī-bas kā pagāni, kādus tas Kungs bija, Israēla bērniem ienākot, izdzinis no zemes.
25 Un notika ķēniņa Rehabeāma piektajā valdīšanas gadā, ka Ēģiptes ķēniņš Šišaks devās pret Jeruzālemi uzbrukumā.
26 Un viņš paņēma tā Kunga nama dārglietas un ķēniņa nama dārgumus, itin visu tas paņēma: arī mazos vairogus viņš paņēma, kurus Salamans bija darinājis.
27 Bet to vietā ķēniņš Rehabeāms izdarināja vara vairogus. Un viņš tos nodeva to sargu virsnieku rokās, kas apsargāja ķēniņa nama ieeju.
28 Un cikkārt ķēniņš gāja tā Kunga namā, tikkārt pils karavīru sardze tos lietoja. Un vēlāk tie tos atkal novietoja sardžu vīru istabā.
29 Bet pārējie Rehabeāma vārdi un tas, ko viņš visu ir darījis, arī tas viss ir aprakstīts Jūdas ķēniņu Laiku grāmatā.
30 Un nepārtraukts kapš bija starp Rchabeāmu un Jerobeāmu visu laiku.
31 Un Rehabeāms apgūlās pie saviem tēviem, un to apraka pie viņa tēviem Dāvida pilsētā. Bet viņa mātes vārds bija Naema, un vīna bija amoniete. Un viņa dēls Abijāms kļuva ķēniņš viņa vietā.
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.
