“And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:16 Who made, &c. - By his invention, and making the occasion oftheir sin, the calves; by his example, encouraging those and only thosethat worshipped the calves; and by his authority requiring and compellingthem to do it. This is mentioned as a monstrous aggravation of hiswickedness, that he was not content with his own sin, but was the greatauthor of drawing others into sin, and of corrupting and undoing the wholekingdom, which therefore God would never forgive him, but upon all occasionsmentions him with this eternal brand of infamy upon him.
