1 Kings 14:10

10 So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

1 Kings 14:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 14:10

Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam
Calamities, destruction, and ruin:

and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall;
not leave a dog of his, or rather a male, see ( 1 Samuel 25:22 )

and him that is shut up and left in Israel;
in garrisons or in prisons, in cities or in fields, or in whatsoever situation or circumstances they may be. Some interpret it of wealth and substance; it signifies an entire destruction it may be of men and goods, see ( Deuteronomy 32:36 )

and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man
taketh away dung, till it be all gone;
signifying that Jeroboam's family was as loathsome and abominable to the Lord as dung is to men; and that he would make as clean a riddance of them as men do of dung when they sweep it out, and will not leave the least scrap behind.

1 Kings 14:10 In-Context

8 And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

9 But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

10 So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

11 Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.

12 Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.
