1 Kings 11:30

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),
