Carolyn: 1 Kings 14 refers to Israel's first king, Jeroboam, after Israel was divided into two kingdoms: Judah & Israel. Now Jeroboam was a wicked king (reigned for 22 years), as were most of the kings of Israel (unlike the kings of Judah, who were generally God-fearing). One day Jeroboam's son, Abijah fell sick and Jeroboam's wife was sent by the king to visit Ahijah a prophet to learn the fate of their son. But rather than dealing with the son, the prophet said to tell the king some even sadder news. He recounted the evils of the king (vv 7-16). So part of that prophecy was the fate of Israel because of the king's wickedness: it would be distressed, rooted up from the land & scattered beyond the Jordan River, because they have angered the LORD with their idol worship as well. And we know, that eventually Israel was sent into captivity to Assyria, after another series of bad kings. There's no deeper meaning in that verse, except to remind his people to love & serve the LORD faithfully.
