1 Kings 13:33 sets the stage: Jeroboam persisted in his evil ways, leading to the illness of his son in 14:1 as judgment.

1 Kings 13:34 pronounces judgment on Jeroboam's house; this sickness begins the fulfillment.

2 Samuel 12:15 describes David's child struck sick as judgment—same pattern with Jeroboam's son.

Exodus 20:5 states God visits fathers' sins on children; here Jeroboam's sin brings judgment on his son.

2 Kings 8:8 has a king sending to a prophet about a sickness; similar to Jeroboam sending his wife.
