21And she named the child aIchabod, saying, b“The glory has departed
Or gone into exile; also verse 22
from Israel!” because dthe ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, efor the ark of God has been captured.”

1 Kings 12:16-20

The Kingdom Divided

16And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, “What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. fTo your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.” So Israel went to their tents. 17But Rehoboam reigned over gthe people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah. 18Then King Rehoboam sent hAdoram, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboam hurried to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 iSo Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. 20And when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. There was none that followed the house of David but jthe tribe of Judah only.

1 Kings 14:25-28

25 kIn the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 26He took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house. lHe took away everything. He also took away all the shields of gold mthat Solomon had made, 27and King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house. 28And as often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom.

Lamentations 4:1-2

The Holy Stones Lie Scattered

1 nHow the gold has grown dim,
how the pure gold is changed!
The holy stones lie scattered
oat the head of every street.
2 The precious sons of Zion,
worth their weight in pfine gold,
how they are regarded as qearthen pots,
the work of a potter’s hands!

2 Thessalonians 2:3-10

3 rLet no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, sunless the rebellion comes first, and tthe man of lawlessness
Some manuscripts sin
is revealed, vthe son of destruction,
Greek  the son of perdition (a Hebrew idiom)
4who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, xproclaiming himself to be God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7For ythe mystery of lawlessness zis already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then aathe lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus abwill kill with acthe breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by adthe appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan aewith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for afthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
