1 Kings 14:15 meaning and explanation
For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
1 Kings 14:15, Berean Standard Bible
