What does 1 Kings 13:34 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Kings 13:34
And this thing became sin unto the house of
Jeroboam
All the above things were sins in themselves, as building high
places, and putting priests in them, whoever would; but the sense
is, that these were the causes of punishment, or of evil things
being inflicted on Jeroboam's family; sin is put for the
punishment of sin, as it often is:
even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of
the earth;
so that it become utterly extinct; and the next thing we hear of
is the sickness and death of his son.
