1 Kings 14:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the open country, the birds of the air shall eat; for the Lord has spoken.’ ¹² Therefore set out, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. ¹³ All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him; for he alone of Jeroboam’s family shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
