“And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.”
The promise to cast the king and his mother into another land where they were not born represents exile as punishment. The mother's fate parallels the king's, showing that the entire royal family faces exile. The emphasis on being cast into an unknown land emphasizes the terror and alienation of exile. The verse shows that judgment extends beyond the king to his family.
