1 Kings 14
Book of Kings
1 Kings 14:1 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.
-
The Lord shall smite Israel = Because they have
made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger.
-
Groves = a phallic image, worshipped by
libidinous rites and lascivious practices
-
River = Euphrates
-
Watch the Euphrates river, one side Israel the truth and other Babel
confusion.
-
Euphrates River, it's between Israel and Iraq, God's
word and confusion
-
Rivers dry up = People are spiritual dead to God's word ( Ezekiel
37)
-
The word east is two words = Kedem and Mizrach
-
Kings of East = Where did he tells us to go?
-
Euphrates is the borders between
Truth and Baal (Babylon means confusion)
-
Joshua 23:13 Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no
more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall
be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns
in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord
your God hath given you.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye
know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing
hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake
concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing
hath failed thereof.
15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come
upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord
bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off
this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam,
who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
-
1 Kings 14:16 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;
-
Tirzah = Afterward made the capital by Baasha,
Till Samaria was built by Omri
-
1 Kings 15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha
heard thereof, that he left off building of
Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
-
1 Kings 15:33 In the third year of Asa king of
Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign
over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four
years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and
walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin
wherewith he made Israel to sin.
-
1 Kings 16:23 In the thirty and first year of
Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over
Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in
Tirzah.
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.
-
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.
-
Rehoboam was forty and one years old when
he began to reign,
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.
-
Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord
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:
-
2 Chronicles 12:2 And it came to pass, that in
the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of
Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they
had transgressed against the Lord,
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore
thousand horsemen: and the people were without
number that came with him out of Egypt; the
Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained
to Judah, and came to 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.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
