Context of 1 Kings 14:14
12And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 13And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. And Jehovah shall raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day; and what? ...even now. 15And Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherahs, provoking Jehovah to anger. 16And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he has sinned, and made Israel to sin.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14The Hebrew text of this verse appears to be defective in this place. No satisfactory sense can be obtained from it.
