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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 14:6-16

(6) 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. (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

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 14:14

Time. Protestants, "But what? even now." The young prince, (Haydock) who was the firmest support of the family, was presently hurried away. Abia, king of Juda, slew above 500,000 of Jeroboam's subjects at once; and Baasa exterminated his family. (Calmet) --- The latter had now begun his conspiracy. (Abulensis, q. 26.) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:7-20

7-20 Whether we keep an account of God's mercies to us or not, he does; and he will set them in order before us, if we are ungrateful, to our greater confusion. Ahijah foretells the speedy death of the child then sick, in mercy to him. He only in the house of Jeroboam had affection for the true worship of God, and disliked the worship of the calves. To show the power and sovereignty of his grace, God saves some out of the worst families, in whom there is some good thing towards the Lord God of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 14:1-20

Ahijah's Prophecy against Jeroboam v. 1. At that time, after Jeroboam had refused to repent of his evil ways, Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, fell sick. It was evidently the crown prince, the successor to the throne, who became ill. v. 2. And Jeroboam said to his wife, the mother being naturally very vitally interested in the welfare of her son, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, mainly by putting on such garments as would probably deceive the average person, that thou be not known to... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Kings 14:1-20

B.—The prophecy of Ahijah against the house and kingdom of Jeroboam, and the death of the latter.1 Kings 14:1-2011 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. And Jeroboam said 2to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king2 over this people. 3And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels,3 and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 14:1-16

the Blind Prophet Sees Jeroboam’s Doom 1 Kings 14:1-16 How blind we become when we sin against our conscience! Each act of willful sin puts another shade on the window of the soul. “Their foolish heart was darkened,” Romans 1:21 . Surely if the prophet were able to predict the issue of this sickness, he would be able to penetrate the mother’s disguise, although she brought only the gifts of a poor peasant woman. Jeroboam had devised this ruse, partly, because he did not wish the nation to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 14:1-31

In the story now recorded God is seen acting in judgment. The sickness of the son of Jeroboam was the first stroke of punishment and in connection therewith the prophet Ahijah uttered the doom of the man who had so grievously sinned. In the name of God he reminded him through his wife, that his exaltation to power had been by the act of God, and declared that, because of his sin he and all his were to be swept away. In the meantime, the southern kingdom of Judah was also sinning. Thus so... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:1-18

Jeroboam’s Wife Approaches Ahijah The Prophet Concerning The Sickness of Their Son (1 Kings 14:1-18 ). The life story of Jeroboam concludes with a quite remarkable story. It would appear that there was one member of the house of Jeroboam who was still seeking to be faithful to YHWH, and that was Abijah, the son of Jeroboam. And because YHWH intended to bring shame and disgrace on the whole house of Jeroboam He chose to save Abijah from this disgrace by bringing him to a premature, but... read more
