Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 14:16

16 And he shall give Israel up, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin .

To wit, by his invention, and making of the occasion of their sin, the Calves; by his example, by encouraging those and onely those that worshipped the Calves; and by his Authority requiring and compelling them to do it. This is mentioned as a monstrous aggravation of his wickedness, that he was not content with his own sin, but was the great Author, and chief cause, of drawing others into sin, and of corrupting and undoing the whole Kingdom: which therefore God would never forgive him, nor forget him, but upon all occasions mentions him with this Eternal brand of infamy upon him.
