29So it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias, the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the field.

30And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:

31And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.

32But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant, David, and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:

19And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.

10there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

11For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

12But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

13So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

14If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:

15I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

31And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.

32And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.

33And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue.

34And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.

35And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

36And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.

37And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
