1 Kings 9:7

7 auferam Israhel de superficie terrae quam dedi eis et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a conspectu meo eritque Israhel in proverbium et in fabulam cunctis populis

1 Kings 9:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:7

Then will I cut off Israel out of the land I have given them,
&c.] Suffer them to be carried captive into other lands, as the ten tribes were into Assyria, and the two tribes to Babylon; which is called a plucking them up by the roots in ( 2 Chronicles 7:20 )

and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of
my sight:
as it was when burnt by Nebuchadnezzar:

and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people;
both for their sins and for their miseries; see ( Deuteronomy 28:37 ) ( Jeremiah 24:9 ) : in ( 2 Chronicles 7:20 ) the house or temple is said to be made a proverb of.

1 Kings 9:7 In-Context

5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israhel in sempiternum sicut locutus sum David patri tuo dicens non auferetur de genere tuo vir de solio Israhel

6 si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri non sequentes me nec custodientes mandata mea et caerimonias quas proposui vobis sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos et adoraveritis eos

7 auferam Israhel de superficie terrae quam dedi eis et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a conspectu meo eritque Israhel in proverbium et in fabulam cunctis populis

8 et domus haec erit in exemplum omnis qui transierit per eam stupebit et sibilabit et dicet quare fecit Dominus sic terrae huic et domui huic

9 et respondebunt quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Aegypti et secuti sunt deos alienos et adoraverunt eos et coluerunt idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc
