F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 14:17-31

South Rivals Worth in Sinning 1 Kings 14:17-31 Rehoboam’s mother’s name signifies beauty , and she may have been attractive in her person; but we are twice told that she was an Ammonitess, as if to emphasize the disastrous influence which she exercised over her son, 1 Kings 14:21 ; 1 Kings 14:31 . In the earlier part of the chapter, there are tender reminiscences of David-that he kept God’s commandments, followed Him with all his heart, did what was right in His eyes. How dear is such a... 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's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:1-31

The Kingdom In Crisis And The Collapse Of An Empire (1 Kings 12:1 to 1 Kings 14:31 ). The death of Solomon, as always with the death of a king who had ruled powerfully for a long time and had been somewhat autocratic, resulted in hopes being raised among the people that things might now be made better for them. Indeed they appear to have been quite satisfied with the thought of Rehoboam being their king, as long as he would meet them halfway, and they actually gathered at Shechem to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:21-31

The Reign Of Rehoboam of Judah c. 930-913 BC (1 Kings 14:21-31 ). The sad thing about Rehoboam’s reign would be its extreme bankruptcy. He reigned over a country which went to the excess in religious apostasy and sin, he saw all his treasures which had been built up by David and Solomon stripped away, and he spent much of his time fighting with Jeroboam and thus weakening Judah. And he did it while ruling in the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put His Name there,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 14:21-31

1 Kings 14:21-Obadiah : . Reign of Rehoboam.— The formula in 1 Kings 14:21 is regularly employed in Kings. The LXX make his age sixteen, and gives him twelve years. The name of the king’ s mother is given, since she, and not the wife, was the chief lady of the court. The title she bore was not queen, but lady ( gebhirah, 1 Kings 15:13). Being an Ammonitess, Naamah would naturally have encouraged her son in idolatry. But in 1 Kings 14:23, whereas it is usual in Kings to give the verdict on... read more

They also built them high places; they followed the example of the Israelites, although they were better instructed, and had the temple in their kingdom, and liberty of access to it, which was denied to the Israelites; and the privilege of worshipping God in his own way, and the counsels, and sermons, and examples of the priests and Levites to and stablish them, and the dreadful example of Israel’s horrid apostacy to caution and terrify them. The building of high places was unlawful, and now... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 14:21-31

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 14:21-31. From incidents associated with the kingdom of ISRAEL, the historian now turns to JUDAH. 1 Kings 14:28. Naamah an Ammonitess—Sept. reads: “Daughter of Ana [Hanun?] son of Naas [Nahash], king of the Ammonites. Her heathen extraction is marked as indicating her natural alienation from the religion of Jehovah. As queen-mother, she had great influence in the Government. 1 Kings 14:23.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 14:1-31

Chapter 14So at that time his son Abijah became sick. And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that they won't know you as the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: for there is a prophet there whose name is Ahijah, and he is the one that told me that I was going to become the king over these people. Take ten loaves of bread, some cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: and he will tell you what's going to happen to our child. So Jeroboam's wife did so, she... read more

1 Kings 14:2 . Ahijah the prophet; an illustrious man of God, now full of days, and full of grace. 1 Kings 14:3 . Ten loaves. A rustic present, that it might not excite suspicion of a royal visit. It is usual in all Asia and Africa to approach illustrious men with a present as a mark of respect, and not as a bribe. 1 Samuel 9:7. 1 Kings 14:6 . I am sent with heavy tidings. The whole speech which follows, assumes the highest character of judicial eloquence, and a majesty becoming the... read more
