Jehovah
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 1 Kings 14:7–9
Jehovah, the premortal Christ, speaks through Ahijah as the One who raised Jeroboam up. Jeroboam's sin is personal: he threw the Lord who exalted him behind his back.
How we know: Jehovah is the premortal Christ (Abraham 1:16; D&C 110:3–4)
- alludes to 1 Kings 11:37-38 — The conditional promise Jehovah made to Jeroboam, which he has broken.
- fulfilled by 1 Kings 15:29 — Baasha destroys the house of Jeroboam according to the saying of the LORD by Ahijah.
