And
Jeroboam the
son of
Nebat, an
Ephrathite of
Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose
mother's name was
Zeruah, a
widow woman, even he lifted
up his
hand against the
king.

And this was the
cause that he lifted
up his
hand against the
king: Solomon built Millo, and
repaired the
breaches of the
city of
David his
father.

And the
man Jeroboam was a mighty
man of
valour: and
Solomon seeing the young
man that he was
industrious*, he made him
ruler over all the
charge of the
house of
Joseph.

And it came to pass at that
time when
Jeroboam went
out of
Jerusalem, that the
prophet Ahijah the
Shilonite found him in the
way; and he had
clad himself with a
new garment; and they
two were alone in the
field:

And
Ahijah caught the
new garment that was on him, and
rent it in
twelve* pieces:

And he
said to
Jeroboam, Take thee
ten pieces: for thus
saith the
LORD, the
God of
Israel, Behold, I will
rend the
kingdom out of the
hand of
Solomon, and will
give ten tribes to thee:

Because that they have

Howbeit I will not

Solomon sought therefore to
kill Jeroboam. And
Jeroboam arose, and
fled into
Egypt, unto
Shishak king of
Egypt, and was in
Egypt until the
death of
Solomon.
