New Defender's Study Bible Notes

15:29 smote all the house. God had offered to build Jeroboam “a sure house” (I Kings 11:38), in effect a long dynasty of his seed over Israel, but as it turned out—because of his gross rebellion against God’s Word—his dynasty lasted only two years after he died (I Kings 15:25,29-30).

This utter destruction of Jeroboam and all his family (with the one exception of the child who had died before reaching an age of conscious sin—I Kings 14:13), had been foretold by the prophet Ahijah (I Kings 14:10-14), the very same prophet who had earlier called him to be king over Israel (I Kings 11:29-39).
