Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:6

GOD'S MESSAGE TO JEROBOAM AND TO ISRAEL (1 Kings 14:6-16)"And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings."The disguise did not work. It is always so. Adam and Eve in the garden; Jonah on the ship, bound for Tarshish; Ahab in the battle; and the Christian who quits the church - all people, sooner or later, find that God indeed sees... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 14:1-18

The prophecy of judgment on Jeroboam’s dynasty 14:1-18Whereas the prophecy of the young prophet from Judah dealt with Jeroboam’s religious cult, this one predicted the fate of the king’s descendants. Compare Samuel’s prediction concerning unfaithful Saul’s descendants (1 Samuel 13).Jeroboam probably sent his wife to see Ahijah because that prophet had previously given a favorable prophecy to him (1 Kings 11:29-39). He probably hoped his gift (1 Kings 14:3) would win the prophet’s favor as... read more

DOOM OF THE HOUSE OF NEBAT1 Kings 14:1-20"Whom the gods love die young."-EPICTET.THE other story about Jeroboam is full of pathos; and though here, too, there are obvious signs that, in its present form, it could hardly have come from a contemporary source, it doubtless records a historic tradition. It is missing in the Septuagint, though in some copies the blank is supplied from Aquila’s version.Jeroboam was living with his queen at Tirzah when as a judgment on him for his neglect of the... read more

CHAPTER 14 The Passing of Jeroboam and Rehoboam 1. Sickness and death of Jeroboam’s son (1 Kings 14:1-18 ) 2. Jeroboam’s reign and death (1 Kings 14:19-20 ) 3. Rehoboam’s apostasy, punishment and death (1 Kings 14:21-31 ) We come now to the passing of both kings, Jeroboam of Israel and Rehoboam of Judah. Abijah (Jehovah is my father), the son of wicked Jeroboam, was sick. “That child was the one green spot in Jeroboam’s life and home; the one germ of hope. And as his father loved him... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:1-31

JEREBOAM WARNED THROUGH HIS SON'S DEATH Though God had sought to reach Jereboam's conscience by the message and actions of the man of God, this produced no effect. So God used another means, by the severe illness of Jereboam's son. Jereboam wanted help for the boy, and could only think of Ahijah the prophet who had told him he would be king. But his conscience so troubled him that in telling his wife to go to Ahijah, he ordered her to disguise herself (v.2). Jereboam was totally insensible of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 14:1-31

EARLY DAYS OF TWO KINGDOMS CAUSE OF THE DIVISION (1 Kings 12:1-25 ) 1 Kings 12:2-4 look as though there were a preconcerted purpose to revolt, and yet who can tell what a different history might have followed had the new king heeded wiser counsel? Note the reason of the protest, which was not Solomon’s idolatry and the heathenism he introduced, but their financial burdens; their civil oppression, rather than their religious wrongs. It is still so, and political reform looks only on the... read more

(7) ¶ 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, (8) And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who... read more
