1 Kings 14:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

1 Kings 14:10

8 and ^atore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, ^bwho kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes;

9 but you have done more evil than all who were before you, ^afor you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and ^bhave cast Me behind your back—

10 therefore behold! ^aI will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and ^bwill cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, ^cbond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone.

11 The dogs shall eat ^awhoever belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field; for the Lord has spoken!” ’

12 Arise therefore, go to your own house. ^aWhen your feet enter the city, the child shall die.

13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave, because in him ^athere is found something good toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
