A prophet of God confronted Jeroboam. Jeroboam stretched out his hand against him and his hand dried up. The prophet entreated the Lord and the king’s hand returned to normal. The prophet was tricked by another man to go into his house and eat, but God had told the prophet not to stay and eat. The prophet was attacked and killed by a lion when he left the man’s house because of his disobedience. Jeroboam continued in his evil ways. God made it known through the prophet Ahijah that He would cut the house of Jeroboam off from Israel. Jeroboam died after he reigned for twenty-two years. His son, Nadab, reigned in his place. Rehoboam reigned for seventeen years, then he died. His son Abijam reigned in his place.
