1 Kings 14:10

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.

14 ^a“Moreover the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; this is the day. What? Even now!

15 For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water. He will ^auproot Israel from this ^bgood land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them ^cbeyond the River, ^dbecause they have made their wooden images, provoking the Lord to anger.

16 And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, ^awho sinned and who made Israel sin.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Kings 14:9

1 Kings 14:11 >>

Shut up - Those who had escaped the fury of their enemies invading them, either because they were shut up in caves, or castles, or strong towns, or, because they were left, over - looked or neglected by them, or spared as poor, impotent, helpless creatures. But now, saith he, they shall be all searched out, and brought to destruction. Dung - Which they remove, as a loathsome thing, out of their houses, and that throughly and universally.
