Contextual Overview

7 Go, tell Yarov‘am that this is what Adonai says: ‘I raised you up from among the people, made you prince over my people Isra'el, 8 tore the kingdom away from the dynasty of David and gave it to you. In spite of this, you have not been like my servant David, who obeyed my mitzvot and followed me with all his heart, so that he could do only what I regarded as right. 9 Rather, you have committed more evil than anyone before you! You went and made other gods for yourself and images of cast metal to make me angry, but me you shoved behind your back! 10 Therefore, I will now bring disaster on the house of Yarov‘am. I will cut off every male of Yarov‘am's line, whether a slave or free in Isra'el; I will sweep away the house of Yarov‘am as completely as when someone sweeps away dung until it's all gone. 11 If someone from the line of Yarov‘am dies in the city, the dogs will eat him; if he dies in the countryside, the vultures will eat him. For Adonai has said it.' 12 So get up and go home; when your feet enter the city, the boy will die. 13 All Isra'el will mourn him, and they will bury him; he is the only one of Yarov‘am's line who will lie in a grave, because he alone in the house of Yarov‘am has in him an element of good toward Adonai the God of Isra'el. 14 Moreover, Adonai will raise up for himself a king over Isra'el who at that time will cut off the house of Yarov‘am. And what will God do now? 15 Adonai will strike Isra'el until it shakes like a reed in the water; he will uproot Isra'el from this good land, which he gave to their ancestors, and scatter them beyond the [Euphrates] River; because they made sacred poles for themselves, thus making Adonai angry. 16 He will give up on Isra'el because of the sins of Yarov‘am, which he committed himself, and with which he made Isra'el sin as well."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years,.... So that he outlived Rehoboam five years, and lived to the second year of the reign of his grandson Asa:

and he slept with his fathers; or died as they did:

and Nadab his son reigned in his stead; who perhaps was younger than Abijah, whose sickness and death are before related.
