Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:14

GOD'S REJECTION OF JEROBOAM AS KING OF ISRAEL"Moreover Jehovah will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now."God did not here promise that Jeroboam's successor would be a righteous king or even that he would be any better than Jeroboam, but that he would surely take care of the business of liquidating the house of Jeroboam."But what? even now" (1 Kings 14:14). The RSV translates this, "Who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today,"... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 14:14

(14) Shall raise him up a king.—Baasha. (See 1 Kings 15:27-30.) For, like Jeroboam, he had (see 1 Kings 16:2-4) a probation before God, in which he failed, drawing down doom on his house.But what? even now.—The exact meaning of these words has been much disputed. The LXX. renders “and what? even now;” the Vulgate has “in this day and in this time;” the Chaldee Targum, “what is now, and what besides shall be.” Modern interpretations vary greatly. On the whole, perhaps, our version gives a not... 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
