1 Kings 14

Jeroboam’s son, Abijah, falls ill. Jeroboam sends his wife, disguised, to consult the now-blind prophet Ahijah in Shiloh. Ahijah recognizes her instantly and delivers a devastating prophecy: because of Jeroboam’s severe sin of idol worship (making two golden calves), God will cut off every male in his house and uproot Israel from the land, scattering them beyond the Euphrates. The boy dies when his mother enters the city. Meanwhile, Rehoboam of Judah also leads the South into gross idol worship, and Shishak, king of Egypt, invades and plunders the Temple and palace.
