1 Kings 14:2
14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, {a} and
     disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of
     Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah
     the prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over
     this people.

     (a) His own conscience bore witness to him that the prophet
         of God would not satisfy his desires, who was a wicked
         man.

1 Kings 14:3
14:3 And take with {b} thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a
     cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what
     shall become of the child.

     (b) According to the custom when they went to ask counsel
         of prophets, 1 Samuel 9:7.

1 Kings 14:5
14:5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam
     cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is]
     sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall
     be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself [to
     be] {c} another [woman].

     (c) Than the wife of Jeroboam.

1 Kings 14:6
14:6 And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet,
     as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou {d}
     wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself [to be]
     another? for I [am] sent to thee [with] heavy [tidings].

     (d) For God often discloses to his own the craft and
         subtilty of the wicked.

1 Kings 14:7
14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
     Forasmuch as I exalted {e} thee from among the people, and
     made thee prince over my people Israel,

     (e) Who was but a servant.

1 Kings 14:9
14:9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for
     thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and {i} molten
     images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy
     back:

     (i) That is, two calves.

1 Kings 14:10
14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
      Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that {g}
      pisseth against the wall, [and] him that {h} 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.

      (g) Every male even to the dogs, 1 Samuel 25:22.
      (h) As well him that is in the stronghold, as him that is
          abroad.

1 Kings 14:11
14:11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat;
      and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air
      eat: {i} for the LORD hath spoken [it].

      (i) They will lack the honour of burial in token of God's
          curse.

1 Kings 14:13
14:13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he
      only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him
      there is found {k} [some] good thing toward the LORD God
      of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

      (k) In the midst of the wicked, God has some on whom he
          bestows his mercies.

1 Kings 14:14
14:14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel,
      who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: {l} but
      what? even now.

      (l) The Lord will begin to destroy it out of hand.

1 Kings 14:15
14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in
      the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good
      land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter
      them beyond the {m} river, because they have made their
      groves, provoking the LORD to anger.

      (m) Meaning the Euphrates.

1 Kings 14:16
14:16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of
      Jeroboam, who did sin, and who {n} made Israel to sin.

      (n) The people will not be excused when they do evil at
          the commandment of their governors.

1 Kings 14:20
14:20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and twenty
      years: and he {o} slept with his fathers, and Nadab his
      son reigned in his stead.

      (o) The Lord smote him and he died, 2 Chronicles 13:20.

1 Kings 14:21
14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam
      [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and
      he reigned seventeen {p} years in Jerusalem, the city
      which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel,
      to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah
      an Ammonitess.

      (p) And died about four years before Jeroboam.

1 Kings 14:24
14:24 And there were also sodomites in the {q} land: [and] they
      did according to all the abominations of the nations which
      the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

      (q) Where idolatry reigns, all horrible vices are
          committed, till at length God's just judgment destroys
          them completely.

1 Kings 14:29
14:29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did,
      [are] they not written in {r} the book of the chronicles
      of the kings of Judah?

      (r) Which were called the books of Shemaiah and Iddo the
          prophets, 2 Chronicles 12:15.

1 Kings 14:30
14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam {s} all
      [their] days.

      (s) That is, all the days of Rehoboam's life.

1 Kings 14:31
14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with
      his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name
      [was] Naamah an {t} Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned
      in his stead.

      (t) Whose idolatry Rehoboam her son followed.
