Context of 1 Kings 14:10

8tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what is right in my sight. 9You behaved more wickedly than all who were before you. In order to anger me, you have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and cast images, but you have flung me behind your back. Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will wipe out all of Jeroboam’s males, both slave and free, in Israel; I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone! 11Anyone who belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field, the birds will eat, for the Lord has spoken!’ 12“As for you, get up and go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the boy will die.

Commentaries on 1 Kings 14:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Him that pisseth against the wall - Every male. The phrase should be thus rendered wherever it occurs.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10All the males of the family of Jeroboam were put to death by Baasha 1 Kings 15:28-29. The phrase “will cut off,” etc., appears to have been a common expression among the Jews from the time of David 1 Samuel 25:22 to that of Jehu 2 Kings 9:8, but scarcely either before or after. We may suspect that, where the author of Kings uses it, he found it in the documents which he consulted. Him that is shut up and left in Israel - See the marginal reference note…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-20Verses 7-20 Whether we keep an account of God's mercies to us or not, he does; and he will set them in order before us, if we are ungrateful, to our greater confusion.
