Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Kings 14:1-6
"At that time," when Jeroboam did evil, his child sickened.

with thee. Heb. in thine hand. cracknels. or, cakes.{Nikkoodim,} spotted, or perforated cakes; either, as some suppose, thin cakes pierced through with holes, the same as is called Jews' bread to the present day, and used by them at the passover; or, as Mr. Harmer imagines, cakes spotted with seeds, as with sesamum, Roman coriander, etc., such as he proves from Rauwolff, Russell, and Hanway, are still used in the East.

cruse. or, bottle. he shall tell.
