Commentary on 1 Kings 14:12

Theological / Devotional

The child shall die. Scarcely a message to comfort a mother’s aching heart or for a father anxiously hoping for the healing of his child. The death of the child was to be to Jeroboam a type of the doom of his house, which, if he continued in his evil ways, would be utterly destroyed. Perhaps the death of this son might so touch the heart of the king as to bring him to reason and to God.
