Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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, Sol 6:4 ; see Gill on Jos 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, Kg1 14:12 .
