Ahijah's
prophesie to Jeroboam.
I Kings 11:29-33, 37,38
And it came
to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem,
that the prophet Ahijah the Hilonite found him in the way;
and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were
alone in the field: And Ahijah caught the new garment that
was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: And he said to Jeroboam,
Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of
Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of
Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: (But he shall have
one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's
sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of
Israel:) Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshippped
Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of
the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon,
and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right
in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as
did David his father... ...And I will take thee, and thou
shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt
be king over Israel. And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken
unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and
do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments,
as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build
thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel
unto thee. (KJV)
