Jeroboam's deception and downfall

In the book of 1 Kings, chapter 14, Jeroboam, son of Solomon, had a son who was sick.  He instructed his wife to travel to Shiloh and seek out the prophet Ahijah.  He wanted her to disguise herself and ask about their son.

When she arrives, the Lord had already instructed the prophet of the deception.  Because of it, the prophet spoke of the Lord's instruction, saying that their son would be dead as soon as she arrived back at their hometown.

Also, for the sins Jeroboam had set on the Lord's people, his family would be destroyed and his future family would have no place in Israel.
