Bible. Kings, 1st
11:011:027 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.
11:011:028 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.
11:011:029 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:
11:011:030 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it
in twelve pieces:
11:011:031 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:
11:011:032 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and
for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all
the tribes of Israel:)
11:011:033 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped
Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the
Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and
have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine
eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David
his father.
11:011:034 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but
I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my
servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments
and my statutes:
11:011:035 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will
give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
11:011:036 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant
may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which
I have chosen me to put my name there.
11:011:037 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all
that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
11:011:038 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command
thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my
sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my
servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure
house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
11:011:039 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for
ever.
11:011:040 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.
