1 Kings 11:29
Compare all
27 And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: aSolomon had built the Millo and repaired the damages to the City of David his father.  
28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was aindustrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.  
29 Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet aAhijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field.  
30 Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and atore it into twelve pieces.  
31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for athus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you  
32 (but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),
33 abecause they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.  
34 However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes.
35 But aI will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you—ten tribes.  
36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that aMy servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.  
37 So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
38 Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then aI will be with you and bbuild for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.  
39 And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever.’ ”
40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to aShishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
