1 Kings 14:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ All Israel will cry for him. They will bury him, but he is the only one from Jeroboam’s family who will be buried. This is because he is the only one in Jeroboam’s family who pleased the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁴ Soon, the Lord will put a new king over Israel who will destroy Jeroboam’s family. ¹⁵ Then the Lord will punish Israel. The Israelites will be so full of fear that they will shake like tall grass in the water. He will pull Israel up from this good land that he gave their ancestors. He will scatter them to the other side of the Euphrates River. The Lord will do this because the people made him angry when they built sacred poles.^[a]
