1 Kings ; Chapter 14 Verse 14-16
14 “The Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. Even now this is beginning to happen. 15 And the Lord will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused the Lord’s anger by making Asherah poles.16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
14 خدا وند اسرائیل پر نیا بادشاہ بنائے گا۔ وہ نیا بادشاہ یربعام کے خاندان کو تباہ کریگا۔ یہ واقعہ بہت جلد ہوگا۔ 15 پھر خدا وند اسرائیل کو ضرر پہنچائے گا۔ بنی اسرائیل بہت ڈریں گے۔ وہ پانی کی لمبی گھاس کی طرح کانپیں گے۔ خدا وند اسرائیل کو اس اچھی زمین سے اکھاڑ دیگا جسے اس نے ان کے باپ دادا کو دی تھی۔ وہ ان کو دریائے فرات کی دوسری جانب منتشر کر دے گا۔ یہ واقعہ ہوگا کیوں کہ خدا وند لوگوں سے غصہ میں ہے۔ لوگوں نے اس کو اسوقت غصہ میں لایا جب انہوں نے آشیرہ کی عبادت کے لئے خاص ستون بنائے۔ 16 یربعام نے گناہ کیا اور پھر یربعام نے بنی اسرائیلیوں سے گناہ کر وائے۔ اس لئے خدا وند بنی اسرائیلیوں کی شکست ہو نے دے گا۔”
My point of view about above verses
God told Ahijah that wife of King Jeroboam is coming to you to ask about her son who is sick – when she arrives she will pretend to be someone else
When she arrives to Ahijah he said come king’s wife why you are pretending – there is message for you from God, go and tell Jeroboam that I have raised you up to rule my people Israel but you are not as faithful as my servant David was – you have done more evil than all who lived before you- you have made for yourselves gods of metal and aroused my anger
So I the Lord will bring disaster on Jeroboam house- I will cut all last male in Israel of Jeroboam house- and burn his house as one burns dung – Dogs will eat those from his family who die in city and birds will feed on those who die in country
God told only person in Jerobum family who will get burial is this boy as God found anything good in him
God will destroy Jerobum family as they caused Israel to sin by making Asherah poles- He will scatter them beyond Euphrates river from this good land as they aroused the Lord’s anger
God gets angry if we do things which He detests / hates
May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
