1 Kings 14:15-17
New Life Version
15 For the Lord will punish Israel, as a piece of grass is shaken in the water. He will send Israel out from this good land He gave to their fathers. He will spread them out on the other side of the Euphrates River, because they have their false gods, and have made the Lord angry. 16 He will give up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and made Israel to sin.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and came to Tirzah. As she came to the door of the house, the child died.

New International Version
15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot(A) Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused(B) the Lord’s anger by making Asherah(C) poles.[a] 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins(D) Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah.(E) As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
