Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

וַיָּ֣שָׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אכַל (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֥שְׁתְּ (וַ) va “and”

But while they were seated at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had taken him back;

וַיְהִ֕י (וַ) va “and”וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,

וַיִּקְרָ֞א (וַ) va “and”

But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

וַתָּ֗שָׁב (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֤אכַל (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣שְׁתְּ (וַ) va. “and”

Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”וַיַּחֲבָשׁ־ (וַ) va “and”

And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

וַיֵּ֕לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמְצָאֵ֧הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיְמִיתֵ֑הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַתְּהִ֤י (וַ) va. “and”

And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.

וַיִּרְא֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיְדַבְּר֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.

וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְּנֵ֨הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּשְׁבְּרֵ֙הוּ֙ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיְמִתֵ֔הוּ (וַ) va “and”

And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.

וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּחֲבֹֽשׁוּ׃ (וַֽ) Va “and”

And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.

וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמְצָ֤א (וַ) va “and”

Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.

וַיִּשָּׂ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּנִּחֵ֥הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיְשִׁיבֵ֑הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֗א (וַ) va “and”

And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!

וַיַּנַּ֥ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּסְפְּד֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.

וַיְהִי֮ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וּקְבַרְתֶּ֣ם (וּ) u. “and”

After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

וַ֠יָּשָׁב (וַ֠) va “and”וַיַּ֜עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

וַיְהִי֙ (וַ) va “and”

And Jeroboam said to his wife, Now come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king over this people.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהִשְׁתַּנִּ֔ית (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָלַ֣כְתְּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

וְלָקַ֣חַתְּ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבָ֣את (וּ) u. “and”

So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

וַתַּ֤עַשׂ (וַ) va. “and”וַתָּ֙קָם֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va. “and”וַתָּבֹ֖א (וַ) va. “and”

Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.

וַיְהִי֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Go, say to Jeroboam, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: Though I took you from among the people, lifting you up to be a ruler over my people Israel,

וָאֶתֶּנְךָ֣ (וָ) va. “and”

And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

וַתָּ֣רַע (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֡לֶךְ (וַ) va. “and”וַתַּעֲשֶׂה־ (וַ) va. “and”

So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

וְהִכְרַתִּ֤י (וְ) ve. “and”וּבִֽעַרְתִּי֙ (וּ) u. “and”

Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.
