1 KINGS 14:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it.”
Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die — Ahijah announces immediate judgment: the child dies upon her return. The phrase בְבוֹאָךְ אֶת־הָעִיר וְהַנַּעַר מֵת (when you enter the city the child shall die) sets a temporal boundary. The child's death signals the dynasty's unraveling, the immediate consequence of Jeroboam's apostasy.
