King James |
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. |

| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
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 (Sa1 25:22-34). See the manner of extermination (Kg1 16:4; Kg1 21:24). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
All the males of the family of Jeroboam were put to death by Baasha Kg1 15:28-29. The phrase "will cut off," etc., appears to have been a common expression among the Jews from the time of David Sa1 25:22 to that of Jehu Kg2 9:8, but scarcely either before or after. We may suspect that, where the author of Kings uses it, he found it in the documents which he consulted.
Him that is shut up and left in Israel - See the marginal reference note.
And will take away the remnant ... - The idea is, that the whole family is to be cleared away at once, as men clear away ordure or any vile refuse. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| 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, over - looked 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. Dung - Which they remove, as a loathsome thing, out of their houses, and that throughly and universally. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Him that pisseth against the wall - Every male. The phrase should be thus rendered wherever it occurs. |
24 Him that dieth [04191] of Ahab [0256] in the city [05892] the dogs [03611] shall eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] in the field [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398].
4 Him that dieth [04191] of Baasha [01201] in the city [05892] shall the dogs [03611] eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] of his in the fields [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398].
22 So [03541] and more [03254] also do [06213] God [0430] unto the enemies [0341] of David [01732], if I leave [07604] of all that pertain to him by [05704] the morning [01242] light [0216] any that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023].
23 And when Abigail [026] saw [07200] David [01732], she hasted [04116], and lighted off [03381] the ass [02543], and fell [05307] before [0639] David [01732] on her face [06440], and bowed [07812] herself to the ground [0776],
24 And fell [05307] at his feet [07272], and said [0559], Upon me, my lord [0113], upon me let this iniquity [05771] be: and let thine handmaid [0519], I pray thee, speak [01696] in thine audience [0241], and hear [08085] the words [01697] of thine handmaid [0589].
25 Let [07760] not my lord [0113], I pray thee, regard [03820] this man [0376] of Belial [01100], even Nabal [05037]: for as his name [08034] is, so is he; Nabal [05037] is his name [08034], and folly [05039] is with him: but I thine handmaid [0519] saw [07200] not the young men [05288] of my lord [0113], whom thou didst send [07971].
26 Now therefore, my lord [0113], as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], seeing the LORD [03068] hath withholden [04513] thee from coming [0935] to shed blood [01818], and from avenging [03467] thyself with thine own hand [03027], now let thine enemies [0341], and they that seek [01245] evil [07451] to my lord [0113], be as Nabal [05037].
27 And now this blessing [01293] which thine handmaid [08198] hath brought [0935] unto my lord [0113], let it even be given [05414] unto the young men [05288] that follow [01980] [07272] my lord [0113].
28 I pray thee, forgive [05375] the trespass [06588] of thine handmaid [0519]: for the LORD [03068] will certainly [06213] make [06213] my lord [0113] a sure [0539] house [01004]; because my lord [0113] fighteth [03898] the battles [04421] of the LORD [03068], and evil [07451] hath not been found [04672] in thee all thy days [03117].
29 Yet a man [0120] is risen [06965] to pursue [07291] thee, and to seek [01245] thy soul [05315]: but the soul [05315] of my lord [0113] shall be bound [06887] in the bundle [06872] of life [02416] with the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; and the souls [05315] of thine enemies [0341], them shall he sling out [07049], as out of the middle [08432] [03709] of a sling [07050].
30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] shall have done [06213] to my lord [0113] according to all the good [02896] that he hath spoken [01696] concerning thee, and shall have appointed [06680] thee ruler [05057] over Israel [03478];
31 That this shall be no grief [06330] unto thee, nor offence [04383] of heart [03820] unto my lord [0113], either that thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] causeless [02600], or that my lord [0113] hath avenged [03467] himself: but when the LORD [03068] shall have dealt well [03190] with my lord [0113], then remember [02142] thine handmaid [0519].
32 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abigail [026], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which sent [07971] thee this day [03117] to meet [07125] me:
33 And blessed [01288] be thy advice [02940], and blessed [01288] be thou, which hast kept [03607] me this day [03117] from coming [0935] to shed blood [01818], and from avenging [03467] myself with mine own hand [03027].
34 For in very deed [0199], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] liveth [02416], which hath kept me back [04513] from hurting [07489] thee, except [03884] thou hadst hasted [04116] and come [0935] to meet [07125] me, surely there had not been left [03498] unto Nabal [05037] by the morning [01242] light [0216] any that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023].
8 For the whole house [01004] of Ahab [0256] shall perish [06]: and I will cut off [03772] from Ahab [0256] him that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023], and him that is shut up [06113] and left [05800] in Israel [03478]:
22 So [03541] and more [03254] also do [06213] God [0430] unto the enemies [0341] of David [01732], if I leave [07604] of all that pertain to him by [05704] the morning [01242] light [0216] any that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023].
28 Even in the third [07969] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did Baasha [01201] slay [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned [04427], that he smote [05221] all the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]; he left [07604] not to Jeroboam [03379] any that breathed [05397], until he had destroyed [08045] him, according unto the saying [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888]:
