Jeroboam then thought to himself: ¹  “Now the Davidic dynasty could regain the kingdom. ² 

Jeroboam did not regain power during the reign of Abijah. ¹  The Lord struck him down and he died.

Now it’s your turn to listen to your servant! Let me set before you a bit of bread so that you can eat. When you regain your strength, you can go on your way.”
