Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Kings. Ahijah recalls that God raised Jeroboam from a humble position and gave him the kingdom, but Jeroboam did not follow the Lord. The judgment against his house is severe: the dynasty will be eliminated, and the sick son will be the only member of the house to receive an honorable burial. The prophecy explains Jeroboam’s political downfall from a moral and theological perspective.

So mache dich nun auf und gehe heim; und wenn dein Fuß zur Stadt eintritt, wird das Kind sterben.
Y tú levántate, y vete a tu casa; que en entrando tu pie en la ciudad, morirá el mozo.
Ahora levántate y vete a tu casa. Cuando tus pies entren en la ciudad, el niño morirá.
Et toi, lève-toi, va dans ta maison. Dès que tes pieds entreront dans la ville, l'enfant mourra.
Or tu, levati, vattene a casa tua; in quello stante che i tuoi piedi entreranno nella città, il fanciullo morrà.
Tu, pois, levanta-te, e vai para tua casa; entrando os teus pés na cidade, o menino morrerá.
你起身回家去吧!你的腳一進城,孩子就死了。
