John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 14:9

Above all — Above all the former kings of my people, as Saul, and Solomon, and Rehoboam. Images — Namely the golden calves: not as if they thought them to be other gods in a proper sense; for it is apparent they still pretended to worship the God of their fathers, but because God rejected their whole worship, and, howsoever they accounted it, he reckoned it a manifest defection from him, and a betaking themselves to other gods, or devils, as they are called, 2 Chronicles 11:15, whom alone they served and worshipped therein, whatsoever pretences they had to the contrary. To provoke — Whereby thou didst provoke me. For otherwise this was not Jeroboam's design in it, but only to establish himself in the throne. Hast cast — Despised and forsaken me, and my commands, and my worship, as we do things which we cast behind our backs.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Kings 14:9

But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and (i) molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
