1 Kings 14:10,11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Will cut off him that is shut up 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. As a man taketh away dung Which they remove as a loathsome thing, out of their houses, and that thoroughly and universally. Shall the fowls of the air eat So both sorts shall die and lie on the ground unburied.

1 Kings 14:10-11

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.

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: for the LORD hath spoken it.
