1 Kings 14:10

10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam the males, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, 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 rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do [that] only [which was] right in my eyes;

9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam the males, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it is all gone.

11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken [it].

12 Arise thou therefore, depart to thy own house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
