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

So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

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

So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
