1 Kings 11:39 meaning and explanation
Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”
1 Kings 11:39, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
These words close the prophet Ahijah's speech to Jeroboam, after he tore his new cloak into twelve pieces to show the kingdom being divided. The "this" points back to Solomon's idolatry, described in verse 33, and the humbling means David's line will lose most of the kingdom.
