View Full Chapter

10“ ‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel—slave or free. Or Israel—every ruler or leader I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.

11Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds will feed on those who die in the country. The LORD has spoken!’ 12“As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die.

13All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, has found anything good. 14“The LORD will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen. The meaning of the Hebrew for this sentence is uncertain.
