Historically, this reflects the pattern seen throughout the Old Testament where God raises leaders to fulfill His purposes, such as Saul, David, and Solomon. The phrase "raise up" often implies a divinely appointed leader, reminiscent of God's selection of David in <a href="/1_samuel/16.htm">1 Samuel 16:1</a>. This king is to be a tool of divine judgment, similar to how God used foreign nations to discipline Israel.who will cut off the house of Jeroboam The "house of Jeroboam" refers to Jeroboam's dynasty, which was established after the division of the united kingdom of Israel. Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom, led Israel into idolatry by setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-30</a>). The cutting off of his house signifies the end of his lineage and is a fulfillment of the prophecy given by Ahijah the prophet in <a href="/1_kings/14-10.htm">1 Kings 14:10-11</a>. This act of cutting off is a common biblical motif for divine judgment against a rebellious house, as seen with the house of Eli in <a href="/1_samuel/2-31.htm">1 Samuel 2:31-33</a>.This is the day—yes, even today! This phrase emphasizes the immediacy and certainty of the prophecy's fulfillment. It underscores the urgency of God's judgment and the inevitable nature of His decrees. The repetition "yes, even today" serves to stress that the time for repentance has passed, and the consequences are now at hand. This immediacy can be compared to other instances in scripture where God's judgment is swift and certain, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in <a href="/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19</a>. The phrase also serves as a reminder of the prophetic nature of God's word, which is always fulfilled in its appointed time.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is sovereign and orchestrates the rise and fall of kings according to His divine will. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jeroboam.htm">Jeroboam</a> The first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy.

For, like Jeroboam, he had (see <a href="/context/1_kings/16-2.htm" title="For as much as I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel; and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;">1Kings 16:2-4</a>) a probation before God, in which he failed, drawing down doom on his house.But what? even now.--The exact meaning of these words has been much disputed. The LXX. renders "and what? even now;" the Vulgate has "in this day and in this time;" the Chaldee Targum, "what is now, and what besides shall be." Modern interpretations vary greatly. On the whole, perhaps, our version gives a not improbable rendering, and a simple and striking sense--"in that day; but what say I? the judgment is even now at hand." (Comp. our Lord's saying in <a href="/luke/12-49.htm" title="I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?">Luke 12:49</a> : "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

[Rawlinson only expresses a general feeling when he says that "no satisfactory sense can be obtained from the Hebrew text," and suggests that it is corrupt or defective. The passage, no doubt, is one of extreme difficulty, and inasmuch as the MSS. and Versions lend us no aid to its interpretation, affords scope for conjecture. The explanation I venture to submit may, I hope, contribute - it can hardly do more - to the elucidation of the text. I observe that in ver. 13 זֶה is used of Abijah, "this one alone," etc. I assume that it has the same import here, viz., "this one today," i.e., "this one dies or is cut off today," הַיּום being understood as constantly, adverbially, - hodie (see, e.g., <a href="/genesis/4-14.htm">Genesis 4:14</a>; <a href="/genesis/22-14.htm">Genesis 22:14</a>; <a href="/1_kings/2-24.htm">1 Kings 2:24</a>). It would be a natural reflection to the prophet who had just been speaking of the excision of the house of Jeroboam, "one perishes today, judgment is already begun," i.e. As to the rest, for עָתָּה I would read אָתָּה, which has practically the same sound, and for which, consequently, עַתָּה is sometimes substituted by the transcriber, as in <a href="/1_kings/1-18.htm">1 Kings 1:18, 20</a>, and understand "And what wilt thou also do?" i.e., what will become of thee also? It is quite possible (ver. 11) that Jeroboam's wife perished in the wholesale destruction of his house, as it is clear from the severe punishment assigned to her (ver. 12) that she must have shared in his sin. The readiness with which she lent herself to this deceit (ver. 4) also favours the supposition that she had approved his policy. She would then have survived her husband only two years. Keil's explanation, "cut off the house of Jeroboam this day," appears contrary to actual fact, while to interpret "that day" (with the A.V.) is contrary to Hebrew grammar.] <a href="/commentaries/1_kings/14-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Moreover, the LORD יְהוָ֨ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel will raise up וְהֵקִים֩ (wə·hê·qîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6965.htm">Strong's 6965: </a> To arise, stand up, stand for Himself ל֥וֹ (lōw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> a king מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ (me·leḵ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king over עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against Israel יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc who אֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that will cut off יַכְרִ֛ית (yaḵ·rîṯ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3772.htm">Strong's 3772: </a> To cut, to destroy, consume, to covenant the house בֵּ֥ית (bêṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of Jeroboam. יָרָבְעָ֖ם (yā·rā·ḇə·‘ām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3379.htm">Strong's 3379: </a> Jeroboam -- 'the people increase', the name of two Israelites kings This זֶ֣ה (zeh) Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that is the day— הַיּ֑וֹם (hay·yō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day yes, even גַּם־ (gam-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and today! עָֽתָּה׃ (‘āt·tāh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6258.htm">Strong's 6258: </a> At this time <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/1_kings/14-14.htm">1 Kings 14:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/1_kings/14-14.htm">OT History: 1 Kings 14:14 Moreover Yahweh will raise him up (1Ki iKi i Ki 1 Kg 1kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_kings/14-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Kings 14:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Kings 14:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_kings/14-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Kings 14:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Kings 14:15" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
