1 Re 11:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:28

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour
A man of great strength of body, and fortitude of mind:

and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious;
in what he was set about in the above buildings and repairs:

he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph;
the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, to be a prince or a deputy governor of them; or rather to collect the king's tax from them, or the revenues of that part of the country, see ( 22:29 ) .

1 Re 11:28 In-Context

26 GEROBOAMO ancora, figliuolo di Nebat Efrateo, da Sereda, servo di Salomone, il nome della cui madre era Serua, donna vedova, si levò contro al re.
27 E questa fu la cagione, per la quale si levò contro al re: Salomone edificava Millo, e chiudeva la rottura della Città di Davide, suo padre.
28 Or quell’uomo Geroboamo era valente e prode; e Salomone, veggendo il giovane che lavorava, l’ordinò sopra quelli della casa di Giuseppe, che portavano pesi.
29 Ora, essendo in quel tempo Geroboamo uscito fuor di Gerusalemme, il profeta Ahia Silonita lo trovò per la via, vestito d’una vesta nuova; ed erano amendue soli in su la campagna.
30 Ed Ahia prese la vesta nuova ch’egli avea indosso, e la stracciò in dodici pezzi.
