11:013:034 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to
           cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

11:014:001 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

11:014:002 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.

11:014:003 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.

11:014:004 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.

11:014:005 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.

11:014:006 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.

11:014:007 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,

11:014:008 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;

11:014:009 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: 

11:014:010 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.

11:014:011 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.

11:014:012 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house:  and when
           thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
