1 Reyes 11:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:29

And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of
Jerusalem
Either to enter upon his new office: or having been with Solomon to pay in the revenues, and to make up his accounts with him was going back to the country to do the duty of his office:

that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way;
not accidentally, but purposely was in the way to meet him, and converse with him; this prophet was of the city of Shiloh, and where was now his abode, see ( 1 Kings 14:2 )

and he had clad himself with a new garment;
not Jeroboam, but the prophet, and that by the direction of the Lord, for the following purpose:

and they two were alone in the field:
it is possible Jeroboam might have some servants with him; but Ahijah desiring some private conversation with him, he sent them onwards, or bid them stay at some distance; who yet might be capable of observing what was done, though not of hearing what was said; or otherwise how should Solomon come to the knowledge of it? ( 1 Kings 11:40 ) .

1 Reyes 11:29 In-Context

27 Y esta fue la causa por la cual se rebel贸 contra el rey: Salom贸n hab铆a edificado el Milo y cerrado la brecha de la ciudad de su padre David.
28 Este Jeroboam era guerrero valiente, y cuando Salom贸n vio que el joven era industrioso, lo puso al frente de todo el trabajo forzado de la casa de Jos茅.
29 Y sucedi贸 en aquel tiempo que cuando Jeroboam sali贸 de Jerusal茅n, el profeta Ah铆as silonita lo encontr贸 en el camino. Ah铆as se hab铆a puesto un manto nuevo y los dos estaban solos en el campo.
30 Entonces Ah铆as tom贸 el manto nuevo que llevaba sobre s铆, lo rasg贸 en doce pedazos,
31 y dijo a Jeroboam: Toma para ti diez pedazos; porque as铆 dice el SE脩OR, Dios de Israel: "He aqu铆, arrancar茅 el reino de la mano de Salom贸n y a ti te dar茅 diez tribus
