Ethan: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:03.257 --> 00:00:04.407
Day 200 and 20.

00:00:04.766 --> 00:00:08.336
jarbo then built up the city of
Shechem in the hill country of

00:00:08.756 --> 00:00:10.886
Raim, and it became his capital.

00:00:11.636 --> 00:00:16.616
Later he went and built up the town
of penal Jarbo, thought to himself,

00:00:17.006 --> 00:00:21.176
unless I am careful, the kingdom
will return to the dynasty of David.

00:00:21.926 --> 00:00:25.556
When these people go to Jerusalem
to offer sacrifices at the temple of

00:00:25.556 --> 00:00:29.966
the Lord, they will again give their
allegiance to King Rehoboam of Judah.

00:00:30.416 --> 00:00:33.506
They will kill me and make
him their king instead.

00:00:34.166 --> 00:00:38.636
So on the advice of his counselors,
the king made two gold calves.

00:00:39.386 --> 00:00:43.796
He said to the people, it is too much
trouble for you to worship in Jerusalem.

00:00:44.306 --> 00:00:47.816
Look Israel, these are the gods
who brought you out of Egypt.

00:00:48.611 --> 00:00:54.011
He placed these calf idols in Bethel
and in Dan at either end of his kingdom.

00:00:55.121 --> 00:01:00.221
But this became a great sin for the
people, worshiped the idols, traveling as

00:01:00.226 --> 00:01:02.801
far north as Dan to worship the one there.

00:01:04.121 --> 00:01:09.281
Jar Boem, also erected buildings at
the Pagan shrines and ordained priests

00:01:09.311 --> 00:01:13.271
from the common people, those who are
not from the priestly tribe of Levi.

00:01:14.111 --> 00:01:18.461
And Jar Boham instituted a religious
festival in Bethel, held on the

00:01:18.461 --> 00:01:22.871
15th day of the eighth month in
imitation of the Annual Festival of

00:01:22.876 --> 00:01:25.511
Shelters in Judah there at Bethel.

00:01:25.631 --> 00:01:30.401
He himself offered sacrifices to the
calves he had made, and he appointed

00:01:30.401 --> 00:01:32.831
priests for the pagan shrines he had made.

00:01:33.551 --> 00:01:37.571
So on the 15th day of the eighth
month, a day that he himself

00:01:37.571 --> 00:01:42.071
had designated jar, bom offered
sacrifices on the altar at Bethel.

00:01:42.641 --> 00:01:47.081
He instituted a religious festival for
Israel, and he went up to the altar

00:01:47.081 --> 00:01:50.081
to burn incense at the Lord's command.

00:01:50.471 --> 00:01:52.931
A man of God from Judah went to Bethel.

00:01:53.231 --> 00:01:57.551
Arriving there just as Jarre Boham was
approaching the altar to burn incense.

00:01:58.331 --> 00:02:03.221
Then at the Lord's command,
he shouted, oh, altar alter.

00:02:03.521 --> 00:02:05.141
This is what the Lord says.

00:02:05.891 --> 00:02:09.461
A child named Josiah will be
born into the dynasty of David.

00:02:10.106 --> 00:02:10.826
On you.

00:02:10.826 --> 00:02:14.636
He will sacrifice the priests
from the pagan shrines who come

00:02:14.636 --> 00:02:18.626
here to burn incense, and human
bones will be burned on you.

00:02:20.336 --> 00:02:24.026
That same day, the man of God
gave a sign to prove his message.

00:02:24.626 --> 00:02:27.926
He said, the Lord has
promised to give this sign.

00:02:28.316 --> 00:02:32.906
This altar will split apart and its
ashes will be poured out on the ground.

00:02:34.211 --> 00:02:37.421
When King Jeroboam heard the
man of God speaking against the

00:02:37.421 --> 00:02:41.921
altar at Bethel, he pointed at
him and shouted, seize that man.

00:02:42.941 --> 00:02:47.441
But instantly, the king's hand
became paralyzed in that position

00:02:48.011 --> 00:02:49.421
and he couldn't pull it back.

00:02:50.291 --> 00:02:54.821
At the same time, a wide crack
appeared in the altar and the ashes

00:02:54.821 --> 00:02:59.741
poured out just as the man of God had
predicted in his message from the Lord.

00:03:00.971 --> 00:03:04.811
The king cried out to the man
of God, please ask the Lord your

00:03:04.811 --> 00:03:06.581
God to restore my hand again.

00:03:07.601 --> 00:03:10.901
So the man of God prayed to the
Lord and the king's hand was

00:03:10.901 --> 00:03:12.701
restored and he could move it again.

00:03:13.781 --> 00:03:18.071
Then the king said to the man of God, come
to the palace with me and have something

00:03:18.071 --> 00:03:20.261
to eat, and I will give you a gift.

00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:25.481
But the man of God said to the king,
even if you gave me half of everything

00:03:25.481 --> 00:03:27.491
you own, I would not go with you.

00:03:28.166 --> 00:03:30.686
I would not eat or drink
anything in this place.

00:03:31.166 --> 00:03:32.996
For the Lord gave me this command.

00:03:33.506 --> 00:03:38.276
You must not eat or drink anything
while you are there and do not return

00:03:38.281 --> 00:03:40.256
to Judah by the same way you came.

00:03:41.186 --> 00:03:43.856
So he left Bethel and
went home another way.

00:03:45.206 --> 00:03:49.376
As it happened, there was an old
prophet living in Bethel, and his sons

00:03:49.376 --> 00:03:53.006
came home and told him what the man
of God had done in Bethel that day.

00:03:53.696 --> 00:03:56.486
They also told their father what
the man had said to the king.

00:03:57.296 --> 00:04:00.086
The old prophet asked
them, which way did he go?

00:04:00.806 --> 00:04:03.626
So they showed their father, which
road the man of God had taken

00:04:04.346 --> 00:04:08.486
quick, saddled the donkey, the
old man said, so they saddled the

00:04:08.486 --> 00:04:10.256
donkey for him and he mounted it.

00:04:11.186 --> 00:04:15.446
Then he rode after the man of God and
found him sitting under a great tree.

00:04:16.226 --> 00:04:20.396
The old prophet asked him, are you
the man of God who came from Judah?

00:04:21.446 --> 00:04:22.346
Yes I am.

00:04:22.496 --> 00:04:23.156
He replied.

00:04:23.756 --> 00:04:28.106
Then he said to the man of God,
Come home with me and eat some food.

00:04:29.306 --> 00:04:30.356
No, I cannot.

00:04:30.416 --> 00:04:34.736
He replied, I am not allowed to eat
or drink anything here in this place.

00:04:35.096 --> 00:04:36.776
For the Lord gave me this command.

00:04:37.316 --> 00:04:41.006
You must not eat or drink anything
while you are there and do not

00:04:41.011 --> 00:04:46.136
return to Judah by the same way you
came, but the old prophet answered.

00:04:46.526 --> 00:04:48.626
I am a prophet too, just as you are.

00:04:49.046 --> 00:04:51.656
And an angel gave me this
command from the Lord.

00:04:52.166 --> 00:04:55.196
Bring him home with you so he can
have something to eat and drink.

00:04:56.816 --> 00:05:02.186
The old man was lying to him, so they
went back together and the man of God

00:05:02.186 --> 00:05:04.046
ate and drank at the prophet's home.

00:05:05.366 --> 00:05:08.756
Then while they were sitting at
the table, a command from the

00:05:08.756 --> 00:05:10.466
Lord came to the old prophet.

00:05:11.186 --> 00:05:13.556
He cried out to the man of God from Judah.

00:05:14.306 --> 00:05:15.806
This is what the Lord says.

00:05:16.346 --> 00:05:20.366
You have defied the word of the
Lord and have disobeyed the command.

00:05:20.366 --> 00:05:21.686
The Lord your God gave you.

00:05:22.286 --> 00:05:25.496
You came back to this place
and ate and drank where he

00:05:25.496 --> 00:05:27.116
told you not to eat or drink.

00:05:27.896 --> 00:05:32.516
Because of this, your body will not be
buried in the grave of your ancestors.

00:05:33.566 --> 00:05:37.676
After the man of God had finished eating
and drinking, the old prophet saddled his

00:05:37.676 --> 00:05:42.866
own donkey for him, and the man of God
started off again, but as he was traveling

00:05:42.936 --> 00:05:45.926
along, a lion came out and killed him.

00:05:46.916 --> 00:05:51.386
His body lay there on the road with the
donkey and the lion standing beside it.

00:05:52.496 --> 00:05:56.936
People who passed by saw the body lying
in the road and the lions standing

00:05:56.936 --> 00:06:01.886
beside it, and they went and reported it
in Bethel where the old prophet lived.

00:06:03.146 --> 00:06:07.586
When the prophet heard the report,
he said, it is the man of God

00:06:07.766 --> 00:06:09.566
who disobeyed the Lord's command.

00:06:10.106 --> 00:06:14.636
The Lord has fulfilled his word by
causing the lion to attack and kill him.

00:06:15.686 --> 00:06:19.166
Then the prophet said to his
sons, saddle a donkey for me.

00:06:20.006 --> 00:06:24.176
So they saddled a donkey and he went out
and found the body lying in the road.

00:06:25.076 --> 00:06:30.056
The donkey and lion were still standing
there beside it, for the lion had not

00:06:30.086 --> 00:06:32.816
eaten the body, nor attacked the donkey.

00:06:33.926 --> 00:06:38.606
So the prophet laid the body of the man
of God on the donkey and took it back to

00:06:38.606 --> 00:06:41.456
the town to mourn over him and bury him.

00:06:42.236 --> 00:06:46.016
He laid the body in his own
grave, crying out in grief.

00:06:46.436 --> 00:06:47.516
Oh my brother.

00:06:49.616 --> 00:06:50.306
Afterward.

00:06:50.336 --> 00:06:55.826
The prophet said to his sons, when I die,
bury me in the grave where the man of God

00:06:55.826 --> 00:06:59.036
is buried, lay my bones beside his bones.

00:06:59.786 --> 00:07:03.836
For the message the Lord told him to
proclaim against the altar in Bethel and

00:07:03.836 --> 00:07:08.336
against the pagan shrines in the towns
of Samaria will certainly come true.

00:07:09.446 --> 00:07:13.856
But even after this jar, Boham
did not turn from his evil ways.

00:07:14.426 --> 00:07:17.576
He continued to choose priests
from the common people.

00:07:18.146 --> 00:07:22.106
He appointed anyone who wanted to
become a priest for the Pagan shrines.

00:07:23.096 --> 00:07:27.956
This became a great sin and resulted
in the utter destruction of Jar BOM's

00:07:27.956 --> 00:07:30.116
Dynasty from the face of the Earth.

00:07:31.766 --> 00:07:35.696
At that time, jar BOM's son,
AB Baja, became very sick.

00:07:36.326 --> 00:07:40.586
So Jarbo told his wife, disguise
yourself so that no one will

00:07:40.586 --> 00:07:42.026
recognize you as my wife.

00:07:42.596 --> 00:07:45.236
Then go to the prophet, a hijah at Shiloh.

00:07:45.596 --> 00:07:50.216
The man who told me I would become
king, take him a gift of 10 loaves of

00:07:50.216 --> 00:07:55.106
bread, some cakes and a jar of honey,
and ask him what will happen to the boy.

00:07:56.126 --> 00:07:59.546
So Jar BOM's wife went to
a Hijah home at Shiloh.

00:08:00.326 --> 00:08:05.126
He was an old man now and could no
longer see, but the Lord had told

00:08:05.126 --> 00:08:09.776
a Hijah Jira BOM's wife will come
here pretending to be someone else.

00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:12.986
She will ask you about her
son for he's very sick.

00:08:13.931 --> 00:08:15.521
Give her the answer I give you.

00:08:16.901 --> 00:08:20.651
So when Hijah heard her footsteps
at the door, he called out,

00:08:21.401 --> 00:08:23.351
come in, wife of Jeroboam.

00:08:24.071 --> 00:08:26.081
Why are you pretending to be someone else?

00:08:27.221 --> 00:08:30.191
Then he told her, I have bad news for you.

00:08:30.911 --> 00:08:35.591
Give your husband Jeroboam this message
from the Lord, the God of Israel.

00:08:36.641 --> 00:08:40.091
I promoted you from the ranks
of the common people and made

00:08:40.091 --> 00:08:42.071
you ruler over my people Israel.

00:08:42.836 --> 00:08:47.846
I ripped the kingdom away from the family
of David and gave it to you, but you have

00:08:47.846 --> 00:08:53.096
not been like my servant David, who obeyed
my commands and followed me with all his

00:08:53.096 --> 00:08:55.946
heart, and always did whatever I wanted.

00:08:56.606 --> 00:08:59.666
You have done more evil than
all who lived before you.

00:09:00.416 --> 00:09:03.806
You have made other gods for
yourself and have made me

00:09:03.806 --> 00:09:05.966
furious with your gold calves.

00:09:06.686 --> 00:09:10.496
And since you have turned your back
on me, I will bring disaster on

00:09:10.496 --> 00:09:15.356
your dynasty and will destroy every
one of your male descendants, slave

00:09:15.356 --> 00:09:18.026
and free alike anywhere in Israel.

00:09:18.716 --> 00:09:23.846
I will burn up your Royal dynasty as
one burns up trash until it is all gone.

00:09:24.596 --> 00:09:28.316
The members of Jar BOM's family
who die in the city will be eaten

00:09:28.316 --> 00:09:32.846
by dogs and those who die in the
field will be eaten by vultures.

00:09:33.626 --> 00:09:35.306
I, the Lord have spoken.

00:09:36.881 --> 00:09:41.441
Then Ajah said to Gerald BOM's
wife, go on home and when you

00:09:41.441 --> 00:09:44.021
enter the city, the child will die.

00:09:44.741 --> 00:09:47.621
All Israel will mourn
for him and bury him.

00:09:48.041 --> 00:09:52.061
He is the only member of your family
who will have a proper burial for

00:09:52.061 --> 00:09:56.711
this child, is the only good thing
that the Lord the God of Israel sees

00:09:56.771 --> 00:09:58.721
in the entire family of Jarre Beum.

00:10:00.206 --> 00:10:04.406
In addition, the Lord will raise
up a king over Israel who will

00:10:04.406 --> 00:10:06.356
destroy the family of Jeroboam.

00:10:07.256 --> 00:10:09.656
This will happen today, even now.

00:10:10.226 --> 00:10:14.336
Then the Lord will shake Israel like
a reed whipped about in a stream.

00:10:14.576 --> 00:10:18.236
He will uproot the people of Israel
from this good land that he gave

00:10:18.236 --> 00:10:22.916
their ancestors and will scatter them
beyond the Euphrates River for they

00:10:22.916 --> 00:10:27.146
have angered the Lord with the Ashera
poles they have set up for worship.

00:10:27.761 --> 00:10:33.971
He will abandon Israel because Jera Boem
sinned and made Israel sin along with him.

00:10:35.081 --> 00:10:41.111
So Jar Beam's, wife returned to Teza and
the child died just as she walked through

00:10:41.116 --> 00:10:47.621
the door of her home and all Israel buried
him and mourned for him as the Lord had

00:10:47.621 --> 00:10:49.481
promised through the prophet a hijah.

00:10:51.056 --> 00:10:55.466
The rest of the events in Jar BOM's
reign, including all his wars and how

00:10:55.466 --> 00:10:59.456
he ruled, are recorded in the book of
the history of the Kings of Israel.

00:11:00.386 --> 00:11:03.146
Jeroboam reigned in Israel 22 years.

00:11:03.866 --> 00:11:07.886
When Jeroboam died, his son
Naab became the next king.

00:11:09.476 --> 00:11:12.356
This concludes today's
immerse reading experience.

00:11:12.476 --> 00:11:13.676
Thank you for joining us.
