Contextual Overview

7 Go and say to Jeroboam, ‘This is what the Lord God of Israel says. "I gave you honor from among the people. I made you the leader of My people Israel. 8 I tore the nation away from the family of David and gave it to you. But you have not been like My servant David. He kept My Laws and followed Me with all his heart. He did only what was right in My eyes. 9 But you have done more sinful things than all who were before you. You have gone and made for yourself other gods and objects to look like gods to make Me angry. You have put Me behind your back. 10 So I am bringing trouble upon the family of Jeroboam. I will kill every male from Jeroboam, both owned and free in Israel. I will clean away the family of Jeroboam, as one cleans away animal waste until it is all gone. 11 The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city. And the birds of the air will eat anyone who dies in the field. For the Lord has said it." ‘ 12 "Get up and go to your house. When your feet go into the city the child will die. 13 All Israel will have sorrow for him and bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam's family will come to the grave. Because in him there is found something good to the Lord God of Israel, in the family of Jeroboam. 14 But the Lord will send a king over Israel who will destroy the family of Jeroboam this day and from now on. 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."
