So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.

Και δεν εισηκουσεν ο βασιλευς εις τον λαον· διοτι το πραγμα εγεινε παρα Κυριου, δια να εκτελεση τον λογον αυτου, τον οποιον ο Κυριος ελαλησε δια του Αχια του Σηλωνιτου προς Ιεροβοαμ τον υιον του Ναβατ.

Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the Lord, that he might perform his saying, which the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
