¹⁰ “‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster^(A) on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel—slave or free.^[a](B) I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.^{(C) 11} Dogs^(D) will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds^(E) will feed on those who die in the country. The Lord has spoken!’

²⁹ As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family.^(A) He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the Lord given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. ³⁰ This happened because of the sins^(B) Jeroboam had committed and had caused^(C) Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel.
