1 Kings 14:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 14:16

And he shall give Israel up
Into the hands of their enemies:

because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to
sin;
by his devices and stratagems, by his example and edicts, and by the methods he took to prevent Israel from worshipping in the manner and place he directed to.

1 Kings 14:16 In-Context

14 Moreover, ADONAI will raise up for himself a king over Isra'el who at that time will cut off the house of Yarov'am. And what will God do now?

15 ADONAI will strike Isra'el until it shakes like a reed in the water; he will uproot Isra'el from this good land, which he gave to their ancestors, and scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River; because they made sacred poles for themselves, thus making ADONAI angry.

16 He will give up on Isra'el because of the sins of Yarov'am, which he committed himself, and with which he made Isra'el sin as well."

17 Yarov'am's wife got up, left and went to Tirtzah. The moment she reached the threshold of the house, the boy died.

18 All Isra'el buried him and mourned him, in keeping with the word of ADONAI spoken through his servant Achiyah the prophet.
