Sick Son & Sodomy 1 Kings 14 Chew the Bible Season 3

In 1 Kings 14, Jeroboam’s son, Abijah, becomes very sick. Jeroboam tells his wife to disguise herself and go to the prophet Ahijah in Shiloh, who had once told Jeroboam he’d become king. But Ahijah, now old and blind, is warned by God in advance of her arrival. When she comes, he recognizes her and delivers a devastating prophecy:

• Abijah will die as soon as she returns home.

• He will be the only one in Jeroboam’s family to receive a proper burial, because he’s the only one in whom God saw something good.

• God will wipe out Jeroboam’s lineage for leading Israel into idolatry.

• Israel itself will suffer and be uprooted because of their sins.

Abijah dies just as Ahijah said, and all Israel mourns.

Meanwhile, in Judah, King Rehoboam (Solomon’s son) reigns but also leads the nation into idolatry. Egypt’s king Shishak attacks Jerusalem, stealing treasures from the temple and royal palace. Rehoboam rules for 17 years, but his reign is marked by constant conflict with Jeroboam.
