Kings III 11:29

29 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two alone in the field.

Kings III 11:29 In-Context

27 And this the occasion of his lifting up hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.

28 And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.

29 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two alone in the field.

30 And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it twelve pieces:

31 and he said to Jeroboam, Take to thyself ten pieces, for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.
