Verse 17
And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed , Upon this speech of the prophet's to her:
and came to Tirzah ; where Jeroboam now had his court, and where their son now was; it was a royal city in the time of the Canaanites, and is commonly placed in the tribe of Manasseh, and was a very pleasant one, as its name signifies, to which there is an allusion, Song of Solomon 6:4 ; see Gill on Joshua 12:24 ,
and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died : just as she was about to step over the threshold of the royal palace, which seems to have been at the entering of the city of Tirzah, 1 Kings 14:12 .
