10, 11. I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam —Strong expressions are here used to indicate the utter extirpation of his house; him that is shut up and left in Israel —means those who were concealed with the greatest privacy, as the heirs of royalty often are where polygamy prevails; the other phrase, from the loose garments of the East having led to a different practice from what prevails in the West, cannot refer to men; it must signify either a very young boy, or rather, perhaps, a dog, so entire would be the destruction of Jeroboam's house that none, not even a dog, belonging to it should escape. This peculiar phrase occurs only in regard to the threatened extermination of a family ( 1 Samuel 25:22-34 ). See the manner of extermination ( 1 Kings 16:4 ; 1 Kings 21:24 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
