Clarke's 1-kings 14:11 Bible Commentary
Shall the dogs eat - They shall not have an honorable burial: and shall not come into the sepulchres of their fathers.
Barnes's 1-kings 14:11 Bible Commentary
The dogs are the chief scavengers of Oriental cities (compare Psalm 59:6, Psalm 59:14). And the vulture is the chief scavenger in the country districts, assisted sometimes by kites and crows (see Job 39:27-30, where the vulture, not the eagle, is intended). Vultures are very abundant in Palestine.
Wesley's 1-kings 14:11 Bible Commentary
14:11 Eat - So both sorts shall die unburied.
