BRAGADAYJAH 1031

BRAGADAYJAH 1031
Death of Jeroboam’s Child
God’s judgment on Jeroboam compared the memory of him as dung. “And him that dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dies in the field shall the birds of the air eat,” saith the word of the Lord.  And so the prophet told Jeroboam’s wife to return to her home. “For as soon as her feet entered into the city the child would die. Besides, the prophet told her all Israel would mourn for the child and bury him; and he shall be the only kin of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave; for he alone of all of his kin had a modicum of goodness in him. And moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. And the Lord shall smite Israel as a reed shaken in the water; and He shall root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river because they built groves thereby provoking the Lord to anger. And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam who caused Israel to sin along with him. And so after the prophet of the Lord spoke to Jeroboam’s wife, she rose up and returned to her city; and as soon as she set foot within the city, the child died according to the word of the Lord.  And all Israel mourned the death of the child and buried him.
