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.
