Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years,.... So that he outlived Rehoboam five years, and lived to the second year of the reign of his grandson Asa: and he slept with his fathers; or died as they did: and Nadab his son reigned in his stead; who perhaps was younger than Abijah, whose sickness and death are before related.
This site's exposition
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel
on 1 Kings 14:19-20
The narrator points the reader to the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel, a source now lost, distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and cited across the rest of both Kings as the record standing behind the summary the text gives here. Jeroboam reigns twenty and two years and dies unreformed, the man who received the sure house language at 11:38 and forfeited it within his own reign. Nadab succeeds him, the first son in this book to inherit a throne the text has already sentenced before he sits on it.
