Barnes's 1-kings 14:14 Bible Commentary
The Hebrew text of this verse appears to be defective in this place. No satisfactory sense can be obtained from it. The true meaning of the original passage is possibly: "Yahweh shall raise up a king who will destroy the house of Jeroboam on the day that he is raised up. What do I say? He will destroy it even now."

He did so with the house ofJeroboam. It was not twenty four years from his first elevation, to thefinal extirpation of his family.
