1 Kings 11:38
See the marginal references. To "build a sure house," or "give a house," is to give a continuity of offspring, and so secure the perpetuity of a family. The promise, it will be observed, is conditional; and as the condition was not complied with, it did not take effect (see I Kings 14:8-14). The entire house of Jeroboam was destroyed by Baasha I Kings 15:29.
