8I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes. 9You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.

10Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!

11Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’ For the LORD has spoken. 12As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.

1 Kings 14:10 Summary

This verse, 1 Kings 14:10, talks about God's judgment on Jeroboam's family because of his disobedience and idolatry. It's like when we do something very wrong, and our parents or authorities have to punish us to teach us a lesson. God is a righteous judge who wants us to follow His commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 12:31, and He gets very upset when we disobey Him and worship other things instead of Him, similar to the warnings in Psalms 83:10. This teaches us to always try to do what is right in God's eyes, like King David did, as mentioned in 1 Kings 14:8, and to be careful not to let anything become more important to us than God, as a way to avoid facing God's judgment.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:10

See Poole "". Him that is shut up and left; those who had escaped the fury of their enemies invading them, either because they were shut up in caves, or castles, or strong towns; or because they were left, overlooked or neglected by them, or spared as poor, impotent, helpless creatures. But now, saith he, they shall be all searched out, and brought to destruction. See Poole "". As a man taketh away dung; which they remove as a loathsome thing out of their houses, and that thoroughly and universally.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:10

1 Kings 14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.Ver. 10. Him that pisseth against the, wall] Ne canibus quidem parcam; not so much as a dog of his shall escape. And him that is shut up - in some garrison - and left,] viz., To shift as they may, there being not room in the hold to receive them; as there is not for all the bees in a hive, but some are fain to hang on it at the hive’ s mouth on heaps As a man taketh away dung.] That the pavement may be pure. Delebo omnes reliquias et quisquilias tuae familiae, I will sweep thee with the besem of destruction; and make an utter riddance of thee. Scopis everram, evertam.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:10

(10) Him . . . and him.—The first phrase is used also in 1 Kings 21:21, 2 Kings 9:8, to signify, “every male,” implying (possibly with a touch of contempt) that even the lowest should be destroyed. The words following have in the original no conjunction and between them. They are in antithesis to each other, signifying in some form two opposite divisions of males. The literal sense seems to be “him who is shut up, or bound, and him who is left loose;” and this phrase has been variously interpreted as “the bond and the free,” “the married and the unmarried,” “the child” who keeps at home, “and the man” who goes abroad. Perhaps the last of these best suits the context; it is like “the old and young” of Joshua 6:21, Esther 3:13, Ezekiel 9:6, &c.As a man taketh away dung.—The same contemptuous tone runs on to the end of the verse. The house of Jeroboam is the filth which pollutes the sacred band of Israel; to its last relics it is to be swept away by the besom of destruction. (Comp. 2 Kings 9:37; Psalms 83:10.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:10

Verse 10. Him that pisseth against the wall] Every male. The phrase should be thus rendered wherever it occurs.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 14:10

10. and will cut off] The entire family is to be exterminated. R.V. ‘will cut off from Jeroboam every man child’. and him that is shut up and left in Israel] There is no conjunction at the beginning of this phrase, which is used to explain the comprehensiveness of what has gone before. The words are alliterative, and apparently proverbial, in the original. The R.V. has given the sense somewhat more fully: ‘him that is shut up and him that is left at large’. That is whether a man be young and so under wardship, or older, and free to go about as he pleases. Hence the expression amounts to ‘young and old’. and will take away the remnant] The verb is one that is frequently used of exterminating wickedness and the wicked, but the word translated ‘remnant’ is only a preposition meaning ‘after’. The sense is ‘I will clear away after the house of Jeroboam’, i.e., not only that they shall be taken away, but all traces of their existence shall be removed. As the verb in the latter clause would be most naturally rendered by ‘sweep’, the R.V. has translated the whole passage ‘and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung’, where ‘utterly’ gives the force of the literal rendering very well.

Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 14:10

Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:10
