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 14:17-31

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 14:19-20

Summary of The Acts Of Jeroboam, And Of His Reign And Death (1 Kings 14:19-20 ). We have here the usual stereotyped summary which, with variations, will sum up of the reign of each king, as it did the reign of Solomon (1 Kings 11:41-43). Jeroboam’s reign could be summed up in the fact that ‘he warred and reigned’. But the sad thing was that his ‘warring’ was mainly against his brothers in Judah (1 Kings 14:30; compare 1 Kings 15:6). If only he had sought YHWH and the way of peace all this... read more

1 Kings 14:1-Proverbs : . Visit of Jeroboam’ s Wife to Ahijah.— Here we have an ancient story with Deuteronomic additions. According to the LXX ( 1 Kings 12:24 g-m) , Jeroboam sent his wife (Ano) to the prophet before he became king. Ahijah foretells the child’ s death, and the ruin of Jeroboam’ s house, but gives no reason for either calamity. He is introduced as a new person, and he is not blind. Ano is not yet queen, so she has no need to disguise herself. As 1 Kings 14:7-: in the Heb.... read more

Heb. in the book of the words or things of the days, & c. By which you are not to understand that canonical book of the Chronicles, for that was written long after this book; but a book of civil records, the annals, wherein all remarkable passages were recorded by the king’s command from day to day; out of which the sacred penman, by the direction of God’s Spirit, took those passages which were most considerable and useful for God’s honour, and men’s edification. read more

So he lived till Asa’s second year, 1 Kings 15:25. He slept with his fathers; either, first, He was buried with his ancestors. But their sepulchre seems to be too mean and improper for a great king; and kings used to be buried in peculiar sepulchres. Or, secondly, He died, as his fathers did. read more

THE REIGNS OF JEROBOAM AND REHOBOAMCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 14:1. Abijah, the son of Jeroboam—Natural heir to the kingdom. His sickness, therefore, seemed to imperil the continuance of Jeroboam’s house. 1 Kings 14:2. There is Ahijah the prophet—He was appropriately selected, because Ahijah was the prophet who, in Solomon’s days, pledged the kingdom to Jeroboam (chap. 1 Kings 11:29). And since Ahijah promised him a “sure house” (1 Kings 11:38), though conditional upon his piety,... read more

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
