Verse 10
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam ,.... Calamities, destruction, and ruin:
and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall ; not leave a dog of his, or rather a male, see 1 Samuel 25:22 .
and him that is shut up and left in Israel ; in garrisons or in prisons, in cities or in fields, or in whatsoever situation or circumstances they may be. Some interpret it of wealth and substance; it signifies an entire destruction it may be of men and goods, see Deuteronomy 32:36 .
and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone ; signifying that Jeroboam's family was as loathsome and abominable to the Lord as dung is to men; and that he would make as clean a riddance of them as men do of dung when they sweep it out, and will not leave the least scrap behind.
