31 Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:

“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+

32 Jer·o·boʹam also established a festival in the eighth month, on the 15th day of the month, like the festival in Judah.+ On the altar that he made at Bethʹel,+ he sacrificed to the calves he had made, and at Bethʹel he assigned priests for the high places that he had made.

10 For that reason I am bringing calamity on the house of Jer·o·boʹam, and I will annihilate* from Jer·o·boʹam every male,* including the helpless and weak in Israel, and I will make a clean sweep of the house of Jer·o·boʹam,+ just as one clears away the dung until it is all gone!

14 The Levites left their pastures and their possession+ and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jer·o·boʹam and his sons had dismissed them from serving as priests to Jehovah.+

3 So A·biʹjah went to war with an army of 400,000 mighty, trained* warriors.+ And Jer·o·boʹam drew up in battle formation against him with 800,000 trained* men, mighty warriors.

20 And Jer·o·boʹam never regained his power during the time of A·biʹjah; then Jehovah struck him down and he died.+
