Löydetty 755 Tulokset: Death Of Jeroboam
Solomon would fain have put Jeroboam to death, but he was up and gone; he took refuge with Sesac king of Egypt, and remained there till Solomon’s death. (1 Kings 11, 40)
But meanwhile Jeroboam, son of Nabat, who had fled to Egypt to be out of king Solomon’s reach, had come back home upon hearing the news of his death; (1 Kings 12, 2)
So the third day came, and Jeroboam, with all the people at his back, kept the tryst which the king had made with them for the third day following. (1 Kings 12, 12)
Thus the king refused to fall in with his people’s will; the Lord had left him to his own devices, in fulfilment of the promise Ahias the Silonite made, in his name, to Jeroboam son of Nabat. (1 Kings 12, 15)
And now, when Adoram, who had charge of the levy, came to them in the king’s name, the Israelites stoned him to death; whereupon Roboam mounted his chariot and betook himself, with all speed, to Jerusalem. (1 Kings 12, 18)
Hearing of Jeroboam’s return, they met and summoned him to be present; and so they made him king of all Israel, leaving none to take part with David’s line except the one tribe of Juda. (1 Kings 12, 20)
As for Jeroboam, he fortified Sichem, in the hill-country of Ephraim, to be his capital; then he went on to fortify Phanuel. (1 Kings 12, 25)
Jeroboam made shrines, too, on the hill-tops, and chose men to be priests here and there and everywhere among the people, men that were not of Levi’s race. (1 Kings 12, 31)
On the fifteenth day, then, of the eighth month, his self-devised feast-day for the sons of Israel, Jeroboam went up to the altar he had built in Bethel, and began, standing there, to offer incense. (1 Kings 12, 33)
At that very moment, as Jeroboam stood at the altar and cast the incense down, a prophet came to Bethel, sent by the Lord from Juda; (1 Kings 13, 1)
All this notwithstanding, Jeroboam would not amend his sinful ways; still he appointed priests here and there and everywhere among the people, consecrating the first comer to minister at his hill-shrines. (1 Kings 13, 33)
So it was that the race of Jeroboam became tainted with guilt, doomed to perish and to leave no trace behind it. (1 Kings 13, 34)
