Exegesis
The construct bəḵaʿsô {בְּכַעְסוֹ | bə-ḵaʿ-sō} appears with asher and hiḵʿîs {הִכְעִיס | hiḵ-ʿîs} (Hiphil perfect ‘he provoked’), specifying the offensive act. While kaʿas frequently denotes ‘anger’, it is rendered ‘provocation’ here to capture Jeroboam’s role in stirring divine displeasure.
In context — 1 Kings 15:30
Because of the sins of Jeroboam that he committed and that he caused Israel to commit, and because of the provocation with which he provoked the LORD God .
