1 Reis 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 Reis 11:29 In-Context

27 Foi assim que ele se revoltou contra o rei: Salomão tinha construído o Milo e havia tapado a abertura no muro da Cidade de Davi, seu pai.

28 Ora, Jeroboão era homem capaz, e, quando Salomão viu como ele fazia bem o seu trabalho, encarregou-o de todos os que faziam trabalho forçado, pertencentes às tribos de José.

29 Naquela ocasião, Jeroboão saiu de Jerusalém, e Aías, o profeta de Siló, que estava usando uma capa nova, encontrou-se com ele no caminho. Os dois estavam sozinhos no campo,

30 e Aías segurou firmemente a capa que estava usando, rasgou-a em doze pedaços

31 e disse a Jeroboão: “Apanhe dez pedaços para você, pois assim diz o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel: ‘Saiba que vou tirar o reino das mãos de Salomão e dar a você dez tribos.
