Footnotes

  1. 1 Kings 14:1 An elderly, blind prophet is compelled to curse the man whom he had chosen to be king at the Lord’s order (see 11:29); this is the beginning of the henceforth frequent conflicts between men of God and the rulers of Israel. Jeroboam will serve, in the stories about his successors, as the example of a wicked king.
