Context — Ahijah’s Prophecy against Jeroboam
14Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
15For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died. 18And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.Cross References

1 Kings 14:16 Summary
This verse means that God will allow Israel to face the consequences of their sinful choices, just like a parent might let a child experience the natural results of their actions. This is because God is a holy and just God who cannot tolerate sin, as we see in Exodus 34:6-7 and Isaiah 6:1-5. When we sin, we can cause others to sin too, and that's what happened with Jeroboam and the people of Israel. We should seek God's mercy and forgiveness when we sin, and help others do the same, just like it says in 1 John 1:9.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'give Israel over' in 1 Kings 14:16?
This means that God will allow Israel to experience the natural consequences of their sinful choices, similar to what is described in Romans 1:24-28, where God gives people over to their sinful desires.
Is Jeroboam solely responsible for Israel's sins in 1 Kings 14:16?
While Jeroboam's actions are highlighted, the verse also notes that he 'caused Israel to commit' sins, indicating a shared responsibility among the people, as seen in 1 Kings 14:15 where it mentions the people making Asherah poles, provoking the Lord to anger.
How does this verse relate to God's character?
This verse shows that God is a just and holy God who cannot tolerate sin, as described in Isaiah 6:1-5, and will hold people accountable for their actions, while also being a God of love and mercy, as seen in Exodus 34:6-7.
What is the significance of the sins of Jeroboam in this context?
The sins of Jeroboam, specifically his idolatrous actions, have led Israel away from the one true God, and as a result, God will give them over to their enemies, a theme also seen in Deuteronomy 28:25 and 2 Chronicles 12:8.
Reflection Questions
- How do I recognize when I am leading others into sin, and what can I do to prevent it?
- What are some ways that I can ensure I am not causing others to stumble in their faith, as Jeroboam did?
- In what ways can I seek God's mercy and forgiveness when I have sinned, and how can I help others do the same?
- How can I apply the principle of Galatians 6:7-8, 'whatever a man sows, that he will also reap', to my own life and the lives of those around me?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:16
To wit, by his invention, and making of the occasion of their sin, the calves; by his example, by encouraging those, and only those, that worshipped the calves; and by his authority, requiring and compelling them to do it. This is mentioned as a monstrous aggravation of his wickedness, that he was not content with his own sin, but was the great author and chief cause of drawing others into sin, and of corrupting and undoing the whole kingdom; which therefore God would never forgive him, nor forget him, but upon all occasions mentions him with this eternal brand of infamy upon him.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:16
1 Kings 14:16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.Ver. 16. And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam.] Whereunto they consented, being "carried away unto those dumb idols, even as they were led."
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 14:16
